HOUSTON --
Work has begun on a new recreation center that will help out kids on Houston's east side. Houston Dynamo defender Mike Chabala helped to break ground on the John P. McGovern Sports and Recreation Center. One main goal of the center is to give kids a safe place to go to after school so they can avoid gangs. The facility will have an educational wing where students can also get help with homework. Spanish speaking immigrants can also attend English as a Second Language and GED classes.
