Keeping the tradition alive in Chinatown

It's up to us. 8/15/19 Turning Tragedy Into Life-Saving Advocacy "As you go along, you see it's not a 'my problem,' it's an 'our problem,' and I wanted to do something about it." In 2012, Larissa Thompson's fiancé Clifton B. Gibbs was killed in a car accident in Memphis, Tennessee by a young woman who was texting behind the wheel. Thompson now spreads awareness to high school and college students about the dangers of distracted driving.   This Great Big Story was made by AT&T.  Building a Chinatown for the Next Generation Mei Lum never envisioned herself running a retail business in New York City's Chinatown. But when Lum learned her grandparents were planning to sell Wing On Wo & Co., the porcelain wares shop her great-great-grandfather started in 1890, she couldn't bear for it to disappear. So the 29-year-old took over the oldest store in the neighborhood and expanded its mission. With the W.O.W. Project, Mei hopes to reclaim ownership over Chinatown's future by connecting communities and fostering creativity. This Great Big Story was made possible by Delta.  This Mega Kitchen Serves 40,000 People Each Day (for Free) With one of the largest kitchens in Asia, the Shri Saibaba temple in Shirdi, India, prepares, cooks and serves quantities of food that are nearly unimaginable.
