We introduced you to , who through her Girl Scout Gold Award project taught us why we should carry our own reusable chopsticks to restaurants, and why we should encourage restaurants to stop using disposable chopsticks, because they are potentially harmful to our health and the environment.

was featured, too, as a reminder that the homeless have faces and names. Dunn was once homeless on the streets of Cupertino, but he now calls Campbell's streets home. Watch later this week for another segment on his story which originally ran on Campbell Patch.

, the cancer awareness and fundraising event held at De Anza College July 16 was spotlighted a couple of times on Cupertino Patch. Patch reporter and Cupertino resident, Priya Krishnakumar, wrote about the event and provided us with some great . As Ruby Elbogen, the event's entertainment chairwoman, said, "It was a great success and it was both fun and poignant, if that combo is indeed possible."

I was there, Ruby; it is indeed possible.

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.
