Robert "Bobby" K. looks forward to coming to Light of Hope where he gets to spend quality time with his friends and the staff. His best friend, Katy is always a joy to be around, along with his favorite staff, Eric. Bobby loves bowling, and having occasional meals at Subway. His favorite field trip is going to Ventura Harbor where he gets to go boating!

Bobby is very friendly and brings love and laughter to the program!

IN FOCUS
QUOTE OF THE MONTH
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand. Woodrow Wilson (28th President) ​
Brighter Days Ahead
The days ahead for Light of Hope participants are filled with many exciting, educational adventures. We believe that capturing fun into learning helps individuals to not only pay attention to what is being presented to them, but it also helps them to retain what they have learned. We are always looking for ingenious ideas to add to the activities of our program days. Even constructive advice can be given in a way that makes a person feel the love of the wisdom shared with them. Our main goal is to assist our participants in living their lives to their fullest potential.
Starting this month, Light of Hope participants will venture into the field of classical Pilates!
The beauty of life springing up in spring,
This is what the new season brings.
Birds singing cheerfully such sweet melodies,
New leaves sprouting out on giant oak trees,
Tiny flowers growing where once was snow,
Bright sun shining with a radiant glow!
