Day 117 of 365 "Helping Hands"

Meet Frank from Iran, now living in Irvine, CA.

The one word that best describes Frank's life today is "Beautiful."  The reason Frank chose this word is because he is spending time at the beach with his son Farbod and his friend Eddie.

If Frank could change one thing in the world, he would "put an end to religion in Iran."  The way he would go about making this change is to educate and inform people about how religion is causing division and conflict in his country.

One year from today, Frank would like to be married. Yes, he has proposed to his future bride so he's halfway there.

If Frank's life were a movie, it would be about helping other people.  His way of helping people would be to pick up their trash, don't bother them, don't play his music too loud and drive slow on their streets.  The title of his movie would be called "Helping Hands" and the subtitle would be called "On A Quest To Help Others."

We met Frank and his friend Eddie while they were sitting on the rocks at Oak St. watching  his son Farbod surf.  Frank drives 12 miles everyday from Irvine to Laguna Beach so his son is able to surf.  He is hoping to move to Laguna after the summer.

I've seen his son surfing often but have never met his dad Frank, until today.  The Laguna Beach borders continue to expand beyond our small coastal community to surrounding neighborhoods like Irvine.

Welcome to the hood Frank and Farbod.
