As the days turn into hours before Shirt The Kids rolls through Fresno on May 11th, the ability to create a buzz around the event was something that was always in the forefront throughout the whole planning process. Internet social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.) have helped out in building anticipation for the event, but I found that being able to actually talk in person about it, especially to those who are affiliated in "traditional" media (newspaper, radio), has allowed Shirt The Kids Fresno to reach out to a larger demographic.

Members of the Filipino Intercollegiate Networking Dialogue (FIND) network came together to the University of Maryland for their Spring Conference on February 27th, 2010.  The theme for the conference was "Laban" (the Tagalog word for “to Fight”), which was aimed towards shedding light into the past struggles from when Pilipinos first came to the United States, the struggles that we face today, and how to combat these issues. The conference was split up into three sessions that were comprised of three different workshops each, which allowed the delegates to pick and learn about subjects they may be interested in.
