  • Eleven-year-old Parker Huffman will climb Mt. Kilimajaro (19,340 feet) in September to raise money for a Bend-based nonprofit, Nomad Charities, which is building an orphanage in Kenya. His aunts run the charity. His mother Lauren will also make the climb. Twelve people will climb and raise $10,000 apiece, which will help build and maintain the orphanage. Parker gives up football for much of the season to do this trip but says it's worth it because it will help people who are less fortunate than he.

  • Ngan Nguyen isn't waiting around for someone to give her a job. Instead, she's put off grad school at MIT to be an entrepreneur. The biochemistry, biophysics and bioengineering major at Oregon State University is starting up a biodiesel manufacturing company and eco-friendly apparel and cosmetics lines. College graduates such as Nguyen have to get creative this year to find jobs as they face high unemployment rates and find the doors to traditional career paths closed. Many grads are turning to community service, volunteer work or internships to get by until the economy improves. Nguyen works at Beaver Biodiesel nar Albany, as the Resident Biochemical Engineer.

  • Robert Kirk, a Halsey grass seed farmer, got an unexpected phone call recently: It was a German journalist, calling to follow up on his boyhood family's gift of a Heifer to an impoverished family who'd lived through World War II in Russian-occupied Germany. Kirk, now 69, remembers the cow as "a scrawny little thing" he helped his father put on the train. He now knows it basically saved the lives of a refugee widow and her nine children.
