PROJECT REPORT: A day in the life of Lolita Kintanar

Lolita Kintanar is the director of Canon Kip Senior Center in San Francisco, where she helps low income and homeless seniors in San Francisco. Outside work, she volunteers to help another homeless shelter program at St. Boniface Church. She also supervises an intern at another program that helps young pregnant women and victims of domestic violence.

Her busy schedule does not seem to wear her down. In fact, I can barely keep up with her! I asked if she gets bogged down if things don't work out helping people, she said, as long as she has done her best, she's happy.

I followed her around for one day to see what it's like to live in the day of of her life.

I love it. Isn't it amazing how one person can make such a difference? And at 66 she's a great role model for what seniors can do! Thank you for your service to our community, it's people like you that make the Bay so special!

Wonderful. It's very inspirational what this she does for the SF community. I only wished it was a longer film since watching it was very interesting. She looks like she's got plenty of energy and of cource plenty of passion!
