Greenspaces don't just make communities more beautiful. They also empower people and drive connection. In 2014, students from the The Felege Hiywot Center decided to clean up their neighborhood. They made a plan and began working with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful to coordinate volunteers, pursue funding and transform a once overgrown and neglected plot of land into a beautiful community space. In the process, the youth and adults from the neighborhood started working together and dreaming big. Founder and executive director of Felege Hiywot Center Aster Bekele shares more about Unity Park, the relationship with KIB, and the ongoing partnership to maintain the space and make Indy cleaner and greener for everyone. In partnership with AES Indiana Project GreenSpace
