The Town of Kentwood elected officials cares about the citizens of their community. They joined Antoinette Harrell, co-founder of Gathering of Hearts to greet ten students and two instructors to do immersion work in the Town of Kentwood. 

Kentwood Chief Micheal Kazerooni and Constable Lemmie Chapman III was the first to greet our guests with an official welcome before the group proceeded to the community center to be greeted by the Honorable Mayor Irma T. Gordon, Parish President Robby Miller, and other elected officials. They were greeted with a breakfast followed by a tour of Kentwood.  After lunch,  the group began their volunteer work in the blistering heat. The heat in the deep south is totally different than what the students are used to in California. It was the first time visiting Louisiana for most of the students.

Chief Kazerooni and Constable Chapman helped load the car with clothes and other items for the people in Coleman Place. Several of our elected officials really care about the town and its citizens. Gathering of Hearts would like to thank them for volunteering their time to help make this immersion trip a success for the students. 

It takes everyone in the community to work together to improve our community. When the elected officials leave their office and take to the streets to help serve the people in their community speaks volumes for those who we elected to serve our community. No matter what the situation you can find Constable Chapman and Chief Kazerooni helping others. It's refreshing to know that they will work side by side with you to help strengthen our community. No matter how many volunteer groups come into our town to help, we need the people who live in the Town of Kentwood and the elected officials to be the biggest contributors to improve the quality of life for all citizens. Whether it is working with the youth are helping senior citizens, the two public servants are giving of themselves. We are so proud of the work and volunteer services they do for the town. 

Volunteer work is vital in every community and most people would say; if I'm not getting paid, I'm not doing it. If we look around at other communities where people won't volunteer for any kind of community services you can see a difference. Thank you, Chief Kazerooni and Constable Chapman for your service rendered.
