High Point University sophomore Rebekah Hollar has a passion for teaching, and before a recent trip to teach in Kenya, she raised $4,400 and a thousands pairs of shoes to donate to needy children there. Now, Hollar is trying to raise more money to help buy the children Christmas presents.

The owner of a local clothing boutique recently started Buy Triad First, an organization to promote locally owned stores and educate the public about where their money goes. The project is based on a national program called the 3/50 Project, which states that for ever $100 spent at a locally owned business, $68 returns to the community through things like taxes and payroll.
