A young boy struggles to aim a large water gun during a party at Imperial Courts Public Housing Project in Watts. Mentors from a nonprofit called Red Eye (redeyeinc) helped kids escape the summer heat on Saturday with water guns, an oversized beach ball and an extra long slip n’ slide. The organization, which  aims to provide consistency and stability in the lives of the area’s youth, has had a weekly presence in Watts for 10 years.
