SAN FRANCISCO GENERAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
August 10, 2008
This review is for the CARE program within San Francisco General Hospital.
The CARE program manages the Araceli Theater Project, which is a drama therapy program for cancer survivors. Through drama classes, survivors heal and learn to express their stories. They engage their imagination and voice, in a safe community setting. The plays are valuable to the community, because they bring forth issues and allow the audience to better understand what others are going through.

Lance Armstrong Foundation
July 31, 2008
I attended the LIVESTRONG Summit, sponsored by the Lance Armstrong Foundation. They brought together 1000 leaders in the fight against cancer-- from researchers to fundraisers to advocates. I was truly inspired by the event; my experience was invaluable to my work.
I really appreciate what the Foundation has done to unite advocates in the endeavor of making cancer a national priority.

World Savvy
July 31, 2008
I volunteered at the World Affairs Challenge in 2008, put on by World Savvy.
The event was extremely organized, from volunteer training to execution. I believe the students truly benefited from the event, and it opened my eyes to the inequities of our public school system.
Despite having to be there at 8 AM on a Saturday, I had a great time and would love to volunteer again.
