Before you knew it, people raised their hands and started arranging things. One person made a tool-sharing list and another a baby-sitting list.
I felt like these days, people are building silos in their lives. I wanted to restore the relationships and connected-ness of a community.
What we're trying to do on a personal level is to make connections so that more kids, especially in low-income areas, have more adults in their life. All of these things add up to better lives, safer lives, better schools and communities.
I like to think of it as a type of Thanksgiving, reestablishing that connection on a human level.
At the end of the day, it's about somebody saying, 'I'm going to do this'. I think its really exciting that students and adults are coming together to get to know each other and respect each other.
