She has helped craft messaging around wildfires, the coronavirus pandemic, climate change and many other stories. She has also brought KQED Science to new platforms such as Reddit’s Ask Me Anything series. Prior to joining KQED Science, Amanda spent seven years as an engagement producer with Forum, KQED’s daily live call-in show. She got her start in radio at KALW's weekly call in show, City Visions, before going on to an internship and stint at NPR's Talk of the Nation.\r\n\r\nPrior to journalism, Amanda taught English at Lowell High School. She's a native of Petaluma and currently lives under the \"South San Francisco the Industrial City\" sign in South City. She believes that engagement is vital to news’s future and that good journalism listens as much as it asks questions.",

Throughout the year, food brings us together and draws out conversation. But for very-low-income neighbors living in single-room-occupancy (SRO) buildings without kitchens or communal dining areas, that’s not a regular experience. One San Francisco church, Grace Cathedral, has been working to change that with a program called \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/26/119331/dinner-with-grace\">Dinner with Grace\u003c/a>.

His salvation came from high school classmates who found him online. And they found him through a startup website that’s acting as a kind of social-network-cum-Kickstarter for the city’s neediest residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The site, \u003ca href=\"http://www.handup.us\">HandUp\u003c/a>, gives nonprofit agencies a way to put profiles of their clients online, along with those clients’ needs, pictures and personal appeals. That gets around a common dilemma that even HandUp’s co-founder Rose Broome encounters herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t give money out on the street,” Broome says. “And I respect if people want to give cash as well, but we think by building a system where there is this transparency, where you do know that the money is going to basic needs, that people will give more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently HandUp is working with \u003ca href=\"http://www.projecthomelessconnect.com/\">Project Homeless Connect\u003c/a> to help the nonprofit’s clients build personalized pages. That way, instead of standing on the street expecting a handout, they can hand out business cards with their information and a link to their page. Donors can also text $5 donations with their smartphones. The money is converted into points that the HandUp member can use to get their needs met. They cannot cash out the donations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We let them know (by mobile phone) that they have a donation, and they can go in to Project Homeless Connect to redeem their donation for food, clothes, medical care, housing, other basic needs,” Broome says. “We help empower them to use these points for what they need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HandUp came about, as many innovations do, in one of those ‘Why, in a wealthy society like ours, can’t I just pull out my phone and ____?’ moments. Broome says for her it was the sight of a homeless woman sleeping on the Church Street sidewalk during a particularly cold night last winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wondered, ‘Why can’t I pull my phone out right now and do something to help this woman, to make a donation for her, to get her a bed to stay in tonight?’ And so I started brainstorming that with my friend Zac (Witte), and he totally surprised me by saying, “Rose, if you help get this set up, I will build it for you.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area’s wealth gap is wide, and growing ever wider, so HandUp is just a part of the possible solution for helping needy people get back on their feet. Broome says nonprofits in other cities are inquiring about HandUp, hoping that the model can be replicated there as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe they’ll even have success stories like Marvin, the man who made it off the streets after 15 years. Marvin was among the men that San Francisco police ordered off of Market Street, away from a longstanding \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/21/chess-san-francisco-downtown-relocate\">hangout for chess games\u003c/a> that had apparently become a haven for drug dealing and other crime. Lowell High School, his alma mater, was organizing a class reunion when an alumnus heard about his plight. They created a HandUp page, and overnight he got the donations he needed to get transitional housing and case management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s incredible,” Broome says. “I know that there are so many people out there who want to help, who have resources, who care. And it’s a matter of building a pipeline, building a little system that helps strengthening those relationships and make… people feel comfortable donating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/122167273\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

About a dozen of them usually show up – half as many as before. Gone are the homeless and the drunks, and also the tourists. The men – and it’s all men – agree: The new location is safer, and nicer. But it’s also less exciting than on Market Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It had become “dangerous and dangerous,” said Rizaldy Martin, a regular on Market Street for 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin works in the mail room at the Levi’s store, and would go to Market Street after work. The games were like in Manila, he said, where people play on the street. But then drug dealers started coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> The new location is safer, and nicer. But it’s also less exciting than on Market Street. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“This [was] just late 2000, it becomes not so good because they use that as a screen. They pretend they are playing in the table, but they are doing their activities around there…. It’s nasty there. People gambling. Really. It’s becoming a bad reputation to chess. If the city OK’d us to go back there, I don’t know. I hope not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fellow Filipino Alex Penano misses the old locale. “It has a lot of energy over there. From homeless to rich people to doctors, lawyers, stuff like that. Now it’s just us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penano learned to play chess in the Philippines by watching his dad. He said chess is a national pastime in the Philippines. The country has produced 13 chess grand masters, the highest title a chess player can obtain. And one of the best young players in the world right now is from the Philippines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penano took up the game actively after moving to San Francisco in 1989, following a separation from his wife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After my divorce I was depressed then, and it relieves my loneliness and stuff by playing chess, because my mind was focusing on chess and not on my divorce,” Penano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the night falls, he watches as two of the best players – Manuel Santo and Rizaldy Martin – furiously move their pieces in the waning minutes of the game. Martin is on a winning streak. He has won three in a row. “It goes with the brain,” he said, as he pockets $5 in winnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, with almost no break between games, they begin again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to Emily Green's complete report for KQED News:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/121283385%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-tLJZf\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
