10) Are we famous?

Well, we'd like to think so. However, we've only just started. StudentsHelp.org has been fortunate to gain publicity in the world community. We have recently received publicity from KRON -TV, New Media News, Bay-TV, San Jose Mercury News, Student.com, The Los Altos Town Crier and BayInsider.com. You can look for our special story on KRON channel 4 in upcoming weeks. Also, BayInsider.com has been kind enough to donate server space for our organization. In addition, we have been working with a internationally known artist, the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce(SJ), Netscape Communications and the Nippon Telephone company on Art and Technology Society community projects. However, our publicity doesn't stop there. We are in the process of gaining new publicity opportunities, but that information is still classified.
