I like to think of it as a type of Thanksgiving, reestablishing that connection on a human level.

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.

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.

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.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me, ... I don't think people are going to fall for that one again.
