thomas would be this far out of avin the 54-lead hole for one. plus two for the day as he comes to this hole. one last look at birdie here to try to move it up. to 14 under. so for the second time at this championship, justin thomas who is usually rock solid, loves this championship and course. but just was never the same as we mentioned after the early problems that were started at the 7th. van rooyen tapping in for par. he's in the honda classic field next week.

4:11 pm
an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa there will be free events. i wanted maria to tell us about that because we want the whole community goes and enjoy this.
4:12 pm
damian: this tells me that the de young museum gets it. i mean, they know where they're situated. they know the history of the mission. they know the richness of the culture here. so it tells me that de young gets it. maria: yes, you know, we're trying to get it and, you know, we're working towards it. i think it's, you know, a work in progress every time. you know, it's something that--the job is never done. i will say so. so, like they mentioned, like we do have free saturdays. free saturdays is an initiative that was launched in april and that we offer free general admission to all bay area residents to our permanent collection. and also we offer free programs for everyone. now, the time that frida is here, we will curate specific permits for frida kahlo. so we are celebrating her with live music, live performances, talks. everything free for the community. and on the opening day we'll have hilda trujillo from the blue house in mexico giving a talk, and then we'll also have --and then we'll also have-- so they're both the curators of thsh damian: what are the datthat ie de young? maria: so it will open up on march 21st, that's a saturday, and it will close on a sunday, july 26th.
4:13 pm
damian: all right. so we have about 45 seconds. i want you to comment, if you will, off topic on what you heard tom steyer say about latinos in importance of them getting out to vote. remedios: well, i cannot comment on domestic politics. i just want to say that it's important that the people learn what they are doing, and it's important that they participate. that's all i can say. damian: all right, well put. well, again, this exhibition of the frida kahlo is coming to the de young museum. it's a collaboration with the consulate of mexico here in san francisco. there's the consulate's address and--is there an email address for the de young museum or a phone number they can call for more information? maria: yes. for more information, you can visit our website. that's the best way. ich will also like to keep it very updated. it's @deyoungmuseum as well. damian: all right, and google. you can find everything on google and you'll be able to-- maria: yes, and all of our events should be there. and then there's usually a phone number at the bottom, and that's usually my phone number.

4:16 pm
rick mcpherson is my guest here on "comunidad del valle." welcome to the show. rick mcpherson: thank you. damian: tell us how you're making a difference. tell us about your endeavor. rick: well, the main purpose of the endeavor is we want to help kids outside of the classroom. you know, they have the classrooow, they have thecle education piece, but what we have found is the world room. the world room is missing, and that's what's really hindering a lot of the kids. they don't understand what's--how to really operate outside of the classroom. so they can't operate inside of the classroom if they don't get it out--get the world right, you know. you see a lot of kids missing school, cutting school. we want to offer those kids a solution, but not just the child. we want to go into the family, and that's what we really do. it's the entire family that we want to work with.
4:17 pm
we have group of clinical psychologists that want to work with the kids and work with the family to understand that if the child doesn't get any better and he's going home to a dysfunctional situation, then it's not going to get any better for him at all in the classroom. so we want to work with the parents to understand and develop some sustainability. you know, understand that you can do better. it's okay to do better. and no matter what you come from, you should want to do better. damian: the name of the agency you work with is? rick: the sacto foundation, saving a child through opportunity. damian: and through that, you've written a couple of books and you share that--you read to kids out there. tell us about the book endeavors. rick: well, the first book endeavor, "the future of fathers," i was struggling with my daughter and a mentor of mine told me about a book called "strong fathers and strong daughters." and it was a book by a phd--a writer that had a phd, and i understood the book absolutely. but the community of people that i work with from lower
4:18 pm
socio-economic environments wouldn't understand that book. they would have problems with it. and i have fathers that are struggling hence "the future of fathers." i wrote a book that they could understand, from a perspective of a man that has gone through struggles, who comes from a fatherless family, who comes from a family that was on subsidies and help from the community--from, you know, agencies and such. damian: 'cause it's easy to become a father. any male can become a father, but it takes someone special to become a dad. and you want to be a dad to the children-- rick: it really does. it really does. and you want to give them the proper instruction, and you want to understand that. and no matter where you are, as soon as you open the book i say find a mirror and look at it and ask yourself, "are you truly the person you want to be?" but you have to understand you might be failing, but you haven't failed and there's help, and that's what the sacto foundation offers. that's what "the future of fathers" was about. damian: all right. and the second book? rick: the second okhe system."
4:19 pm
and this book here, this is the book that is a foundational book. it goes through five phases, and i think every youth should have this book. this book should probably be in every home, but not just homes. in every middle school and above, every student should get it. i'm trying to partner with the department of education. i'm trying to sit with superintendent thurmond, state superintendent so he could understand that this piece is missing. it's--once again, it's the world room. so let's help them in the world so they can be better in the classroom. let's give them a foundation, and these five phases of this book, i think, give them a strong foundation. damian: and you're speaking--upcoming at overfelt high school in the heart of east san jose. your message is what? wake up, or here are the tools for you to help you succeed? rick: my message is--i don't want it to and slap people in the face. i want it to be, here are some resources. people ask me what genre am i writing in and i always tell them it's like a new genre.
4:20 pm
i call it lifelines. just like dial-a-friend lifelines from "who wants to be a millionaire," this is a lifeline, and i think that--here's what i really want to do. here's what i really want to do, damian. i want to look into that camera and i want to tell people like oprah and i want to tell people like ellen, we can use your support; not just your money, not at all, but your support in getting the word out and partnering and picking up a book like this and saying it's worth something. i can use your support. the sacto foundation can use your support. damian: but it--i mean, it takes hearing from somebody who's been there and done that, right? it makes a difference than somebody who maybe hasn't gone through those experience for the kids to relate. and are kids relating? rick: kids are relating. i spoke to 100 kids. they were in a basketball league in vallejo, and 75 of those kids reached out to me. they reached out to me. they were hurting. they were going through something. because what i tell the schools is that we're going to wrap it back around to the parents and the schools, but these kids have got to understand and they have to have a place where
4:21 pm
no one's going to point blame and we're going to really try to support and help them. damian: all right, well, you came highly recommended. so i wanted to have you on and see what this was all about. this is rick mcpherson. he's an author and he's also a motivational speaker of the kids all across the bay area. and there is the web address for the sacto foundation for more information. we have about 15 seconds. anything you want to add. rick: i just want to say anyone that's out there that's fighting this fight, let's collaborate. let's put the money into the right resources and stop putting it where it doesn't need to be. we really have to want to help. if you really want to help, then get with me. damian: all right. thank you, rick, good luck. rick: thank you, damian. damian: all right, i appreciate it. and up next on "comunidad del valle," the gardeners are back. stay with us.
4:22 pm
of millions of americans during wall strethe recession.advantage so, my wife kat and i took action. we started a non-profit community bank with a simple theory - give people a fair deal and real economic power. invest in the community. in businesses owned by women and people of color. in affordable housing. the difference between words and actions matters. that's a lesson politicians in washington could use right now. i'm tom steyer, and i approve this message. don catalino tapia is back on the show to talk about his scholarship program, and karla hernandez is a scholarship recipient. welcome to the show. karla hernandez: thank you. catalino tapia: thank you so much, damian. damian: again, you're back ready to give more money to students who need it in going to college. catalino: yes, and thanks for giving us the opportunity
4:23 pm
to communicate with the students, and i wanted to tell them that the applications are open right now. so they can apply and hope for the best. damian: all right. what did you see in karla here that allowed her to receive one of your scholarship? or what didn't you see, rather? catalino: well, she won four times already. so we start from the beginning up to this moment, and she's one of my little girls. damian: she's one of your crown jewels. so that means you get four laptops? talk about the joy and the honor it is to receive a scholarship from the bay area gardeners scholarship foundation. karla: so i have to--i always reflect back on my background. i actually immigrated in 2012. i was born and raised in a small rural community in guanajuato, mexico, and the reason why i came to united states was because i was suffering from severe harassment from a gang.
4:24 pm
so i came here seeking medical treatment. i started high school, but it was just very depressing because of the health problems that i was encountering. and when i heard about bay area gardeners scholarship foundation, i didn't necessarily understand the impact that it was going to play in my life. i still remember the first time don catalino called me. he was just like, "is this karla?" and i was like, "yeah." he's like, "well, congratulations because you're a recipient to my scholarship." and i would have never imagined that that would be in a way my stepping stone to making college a reality for me. beyond the monetary help that the scholarship gives, don catalino devotes himself to the students. he calls me weekly to ask about my health, to ask about my grades, to ask about any adventure that i'm going on; and he has been there for me unconditionally and i pride myself to say that i am a graduate from the scholarship because they started off ever since i graduated
4:25 pm
with high--from high school and my graduation that's coming up may 16th. my biggest dream is to see don catalino see me get that award, and i'm thrilled, i'm honored. it's been a privilege to have him as my mentor, as my guardian angel, as my--the motivation i needed to continue in college. damian: you're like a father figure, don catalino. your reactions of hearing those beautiful words. catalino: all the statements like these are the ones that are killing me. so they need to be easy with me because i'm getting close to the end and--but i really enjoy what i'm doing, helping all the young students.
4:26 pm
anof this year, we're going toed 29pass the 300 number. damian: wow. and you give the scholarship and give a laptop to the student. and, again, just for those who might not remember don catalino, you used to be a gardener. you just retired recently. but through knowing all of the people who you did work for and volunteers, you were able to raise money and send 300 students to college. catalino: yes. well, my former clients, they are my angels. even though that i'm not working with them anymore, they are still supporting my cause, and i can only say thank you. thank you so much, and the results are here. damian: yes. well, karla, it seems like this is more than him handing you a check and saying, "here you go." it sounds like the fact that he and the committee saw something in you, believe in you, that's got to mean more than the actual check that they give you. karla: and exactly--specifically, the check
4:27 pm
that they give me doesn't only pay for my tuition. i always tell them that any adventure--and when i say adventure, it's like going to speak to border patrol at san diego to talk about immigrants' rights and advocating for the immigrant community, starting an internship at a nonprofit that supports the immigrant community. it's literally investing in any new project that was inspired from don catalino and the foundation. i think that my worth is something that the majority of the students feel is that we were inspired by don catalino to not only pursue a career, but pursue a career that makes meaningful impacts. my long-term goal is actually to open a nonprofit of my own that helps women in rural communities like the one i was born and raised in for totrgher . and ever since i started college, i've been doing a lot of work around nonprofits just because we--don catalino says that's he's dying out. that is not--he has a legacy, and every student is trying to
4:28 pm
bring that legacy forward. and that's what he created. i always say he planted a seed within each and every one of us, and that is to create meaningful change for the community. damian: i can totally see that. unfortunately, we went too long with tom steyer. we're running out of time here, but here is--the deadline for the application is on march 17th. there is a web address for more information. it's the bay area gardeners scholarship foundation. there's also our contact information. you can follow me on twitter. my address is @newsdamian, and on instagram @newsdamientrujillo. thank you for sharing your sunday with us once again. we'll see you again here next week. thank you all so much. ♪
4:30 pm
♪ garvin thomas: thank you so much for joining us. i'm garvin thomas. for the next half hour, sit back, relax, and enjoy stories about what's right with our world and the people who make it possible, like the small act of kindness that gave hope to the parents of these premature babies and how it's being paid forward 17 years later, the south bay woman saving horses at a remarkable rate, and how a little boy's map is widening his world and brightening ours. we begin in oakland's montclair neighborhood where two women found a way to preserve messages of support for one man's family. shuo zeng was killed new year's eve during a laptop theft at a coffee shop. after the crime, hundreds of people left flowers, notes, and candles for the victim.twe post-it notes to help the man's
