Last month, Desert Hope announced that it will be forced to close in late February due to financial constraints.

We could not happen, Dean Esposito. We could not go on living our comfortable lifestyle, knowing that people in our community will be hungry, and one of the few places that actually offer to help them get closed. In this country there are so many people having so much that no one should have something.

Dean began volunteering in the desert Hope about a year ago, after noticing the long queues at soup kitchens during your daily drive to Cabana Bella. The thought of her husband, who works in the kitchen, amused, Martina, at least first.

really blessed, Dean Esposito. Personally I am blessed to find Martina, if not only beautiful and incredibly talented, but whose talents are ideally suited for things I could do. Together they were blessed that this community so well Cabana Bella, and continues to support us for over 10 years.

that support is a very good life for Esposito. But Dean Esposito said material comfort grew increasingly uncomfortable when he and Martin would drive to work and see the crowds out of the desert Hope. They asked for the soup kitchen and Dean have decided to volunteer for a few hours every week since their culinary boundaries murderer According to Martin, he helped the soup kitchen managers to balance their books and maintenance schedules

.

At the end of december 2011, Desert Hope, citing dwindling cash and food donations and rising costs for preparation of the 5000 most hot lunches and dinners every month announced that it is bankrupt and will be closed immediately after the end of February. But this week, rose Cabana Bella by a number of donations, which together with other donations, the Food Bank keep the surface at least until the end of 2012

Hope

desert is an important part of this community, said Dean Esposito. Each of us may find yourself homeless or in desperate economic situation, and luckily there are places like this and people like Daniel and Sandra offer a helping hand.

Daniel and Sandra are Daniel and Sandra Dean Adar, who found hope in the desert the 2,001th Although there is still need for food donations and monetary donations to cover costs for utilities and insurance, Hope Desert had no hope, no Martina and Dean Esposito, according to Adar.

they definitely saved us, “she said. And they are literally saving lives in this society. Martina Esposito and Dean are good people with big hearts.

The goal of the month

There is no redundancy between these groups and we need to work together to be more effective and efficient in providing these services.


Speakers

outlined many of the major issues facing youth, from the relationship between individuals with parents and peers, bullying, issues of social and economic diversity and ethnicity. After the presentations, group participants brainstormed how they could pool resources to maximize resources to better serve the community.


Mrs. Ehresman

Cornerstone project, resolve the question of what makes children grow up and explained that children need to develop activities in the course of their growth, or base their social and emotional need to be successful in life. Children 30-40 with a heritage can flourish, leading to better performance and greater overall happiness at school, she said Ehresman. Conversely, those with 20 or less and vulnerable to switch to a lower risk category to go.


Dr. Russell

PAU group came across some alarming statistics on bullying, revealing an 5-6 children or adolescents report being bullied, and emphasizes the importance of learning sign suggesting that your child may be a victim of bullying. Dr. Russell shared that no child is not affected by bullying at school, playground or in the vicinity. He explained that the best way to stop bullying is to talk to their children and listen to them on a daily basis and is a good example of the kind leader. He also noted that it is important to spend time at school during breaks, 67% of bullying happens when adults are not present.


AACI

Dr. Wong’s focus on issues of race, revealed that 47% of the residents of Santa Clara County is not white, 36% are foreigners, and 36% are first generation the children of immigrants. When you think about how to improve the lives of children in Santa Clara County, it is an important factor in the ethnic and socio-economic, Dr. Wong. You will quickly see the injustice exists in the Asian population, where 21% of Cambodia and Vietnam 11% of people living below the poverty line, 24% of Asians do not have health insurance, and the Asia has the highest rate of violent death in a house.

At this event, Dr. Klein set of eight tables, organizational strategy for people with a broad representation of stakeholders in each table. For example, a table is typically a faculty of PAU, vice president of a community organization, staff members and elected officials PAU. To get the creative juices flowing by you, I want people to stretch beyond their comfort zone and put them with people from different professional background, we can do that, to to Dr. Klein.


Some of the ideas generated by brainstorming sessions

include:

The development of a referral mechanism that allows different groups to get referrals based on their experience and allow those who need easy access to authority

PAU Provide training for Santa Clara County Office of Education and the Santa Clara County public schools

With a free screening for depression and anxiety for children and young people in the community through the Kurt and Barbara Gronowski Clinic PAUS

PAU seeks to collaborate with other local authorities such as Heard and YMCA to help young people with mental health problems and more preventive services to improve resiliency to youth at risk. PAU

opportunities for helping students tutoring and counseling students in middle and high schools to talk about coping with stress and pressures of adulthood

Dr. Klein will work with PAU staff to develop action plans for many of the recommendations.

This is only a small number of ideas generated from brainstorming, said Allen Calvin, Ph.D., President University in Palo Alto, and the group can easily spend more hours, but we running out of time. It just further illustrates the need for any type of meeting, and I recommend June to skillfully put together a special team to deal with important issues.
