For Halloween at my school we thought about ways that we could benefit the community, ways that we could have fun, and ways that we could raise money for an important issue. In the end, we chose to have a trunk-or-treat where little kids could be able to come to a safe environment, pay a small ticket fee, and go to individual cars to collect candy.

My name is Melissa and I am a third year student studying at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego). At school I study Political Science in the Middle East. I am part of many organizations in college that deal with promoting international awareness which help solve important global issues of our time such as food security, peace/conflict, and climate change

As a student of Forest Grove High School my purpose in recognizing AIDS day (December first) was to raise awareness about a serious health issue, AIDS, and ways of preventing it. I created a poster that spelled out AIDS in condoms and made informational flyers about AIDS/HIV. When people took the condoms, “AIDS” disappeared.

Last Saturday a group of GCC leaders from the Portland area participated in an hour long video chat with Tunisian leaders in Gafsa. The GCC program in Tunisia is new and this was their first opportunity to meet US leaders. Before the video chat, none of the US youth had previously engaged with anyone from Tunisia.

It's not everyday that we get to talk to people from across the globe, face to face, about their lives, what matters and just get to know one another. This Saturday GCC leaders from Tunisia and the United States will be doing just that.

My friend Katie, who is also part of the GCC program, and I wanted to create a fun way to celebrate International Peace day but we also wanted it to be informative and meaningful.
