Because of the rainy weather, some of the planned events had to be postponed. Volunteers were still able to do some of the house painting projects, but plans to paint murals at elementary schools and at the Spartan Market had to be delayed until May 5.
Curtis Chung, a senior majoring in kinesiology, said he enjoyed painting the trim of a house.
"It is a great time to spend with your buddies and doing community service for those who need it," he said.
Fellow painter Tiffany Tyson, a sophomore majoring in communications, came with some other students from the MOSAIC Cross Cultural Center.
"It is cool that we can come together and work as a team to do community service," she said.
The coordinator for the painting project Tyson and Chung said that the main part of the house had to be painted by professionals because of the old led paint that had to be removed first. The volunteers were able to paint the trim around the doors and windows.
"It is nice to get involved in the community and help locals," said coordinator Amy Krauser, a sophomore majoring in radio, television and film. "The university is a big part of San Jose."
