APL started as an idea, and now it’s a fully developed organization thanks to God and Carolina’s vision. On Thursday, May 9, 2013, Carolina received the Community Service Outstanding Award in Davis. The award was categorized outstanding (highest level) due to over 6000 hours of community service both in the Sacramento area and Haiti. We are very proud of how far APL has come along. Congratulations to our beautiful president!
APL is preparing for their next trip to Haiti, which will be taking place in July 2013. Help us fundraise for the library by bringing your car to the car wash and spreding the word. We hope to see you there!
