Road to Reality is an event targeting 5th through 9th graders and their parents to raise awareness of the physical, emotional and legal consequences of underage use of alcohol and/or use of drugs and the possible consequences of those choices. Students with their parents will come to the Woodson Center for Business and Economics at Blackburn College and be greeted by a number of resource tables providing information, parenting help, and brain and spinal injury prevention. After viewing the various resources they will then become observers down the “Road to Reality”.

Our event is called Healthy Kids Day. This event is organized by High School students that want to be involved in the community and want to see a change. We want to educate children and families about being healthy. Not just healthy as in they eat right but as whole individual. The event is hosted at the YMCA where we have a variety of activities going on from 10-2pm. We invite any agency that is working towards the goal of developing healthy children to attend and host a booth with an activity.

Youth Power!

Butte County is located north of Sacramento. In my community, there is a high percentage of youths drop outs in high school and there is a very small fraction of those who attend college. My goal is to start a youth committee through our Hmong Cultural Center here in Oroville. I want to create a youth center that is easy going and open after school and on weekends so that youths can hang out, study, and create positive networks. In here also, I want to create a committee of youths for youths.

In my spare time I have created a website for our local Alzheimer's Resource Center. It is a place for families that have questions about caring for an Alzheimer's patient to go for answers. It also offers respite grants to families in need, provides speakers for doctors and nurses on the care of Alzheimer's patients, and conducts caregiver meetings.

the Bed-Stuy Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project

I started the Bed-Stuy CSA, because families in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn are unable to purchase fresh vegetables in the neighborhood. This lack of access to fresh, healthy food contributes to the neighborhood’s significant health epidemics: according to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Health of Central Brooklyn report, residents of Bedford-Stuyvesant suffer a rate of heart disease 30% higher than the NYC average and are two times more likely to have diabetes than the average New Yorker. In fact, 1 in 3 Bed-Stuy residents is obese.
