What We Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is
not simply random text. It has roots
in a piece of classical Latin
literature from 45 BC, making
it over 2000 years old.
Richard McClintock,
a Latin professor at
Hampden-Sydney
College in Virginia,
looked up one of
the more obscure
Latin words, con-
sectetur, from a Lorem
Ipsum passage, and go-
ing through the cites of the
word in classical literature,
discovered the undoubt-
able source. Lorem Ipsum
comes from sections
1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of
“de Finibus Bonorum
et Malorum” (The
Extremes of Good and
Evil) by Cicero, written

Service Learning Projects
Summer CampStaff members travel to seven
elementary school across the DC area to engage our youth in after-school enrichment activities. This includes
and hour of homework help, academic games, and
enrichment projects focusing on cultural heritage, civic engagement,
and leadership skills.
Kid Power provides pro-gramming for
students even when school is out with their annual Summer Camp.
Students choose between four core
activities-- art, music & dance, science, and
government-- and participate in six weeks of classes, games, field
trips and projects.
Kid Power partners with Sidwell Friends and Georgetown Day School
to provide volunteers and weekly mentoring opportunities between
Kid Power students and High Schoolers.
Kid Power students participate in a year-long service learning project to help undestand what it means to support and give back to the communities they come from. Projects are chosen by the students themselves, and range from helping the homeless to protecting the environment.
