| Manuel "OG" Compito |
In the midst of asking for a second chance, we make intentions to perform good deeds and vow to help others. Manuel Compito a man who is making good with community programs, the Arts, and making peace in Downtown Los Angeles Skid Row community.
Skid Row is known for homelessness and the ills of destitution. Manuel says, "Skid Row is Holy ground; for its goodness you do not see, for the success stories that are undocumented and the family community bond among us here."
His role has earned him the affectionate name "OG" an original gentleman, for his leadership and passion for people. Being in position does not mean he is loved by everyone, but his work is loved by many for being effective. The OG's sincerity helps sustains a lot of positive work in the Skid Row Community.
A few of his accomplishments and/or involvement...
