Welcome to Hearts of Gold. Today we have Camilla with us. Hi, Camilla.
00:00:16:14 – 00:00:18:07
Camilla Chan
Hi, Miss Robinson.
00:00:18:09 – 00:00:22:03
Sheryl Robinson
Can you tell us about your Girl Scout Gold Award project?
00:00:22:05 – 00:00:47:14
Camilla Chan
Of course. So the title of my Girl Scout Aurora project is Hang Jewels of Asia. And the goal of my project is to build a more united communities. There are actually three parts of my project. The first part is workshops. So I partner with two YMCA branches and I taught over 500 students about different Asian cultures through interactive, hands on activities.
00:00:47:16 – 00:01:13:16
Camilla Chan
I think a popular favorite was Plato for which is pine needles were made out of Plato. And then the second part of my workshop were YouTube blogs. So I went to five different local Asian communities, which were little Tokyo, Chinatown, Historic Filipino Town, Little India, and, Little Saigon. And I tried their cuisine, just explore the city and then uploaded that on YouTube.
00:01:13:17 – 00:01:39:09
Camilla Chan
So right now my channel has over 2500 views. And the last part of my workshop, which I think my project is most known for, is my book. I actually have it with me hitting Jewels of Asia. And I fundraised around $6,000 and published 700 copies of my book to libraries, schools and Girl Scout troops around across the nation.
00:01:39:11 – 00:01:41:02
Camilla Chan
So that’s our project.
00:01:41:04 – 00:01:43:07
Sheryl Robinson
What prompted your project?
00:01:43:09 – 00:02:16:15
Camilla Chan
A big part of what prompted my project is actually Girl Scouts. So I’ve been in Girl Scouts since kindergarten. So that’s 13 years of, you know, learning about French and teamwork, but also about service, community and advocacy. And when the pandemic came along with the Asian hate crimes, I was in absolute disbelief because these acts of racism and violence were the complete opposite of what I’ve learned my entire life through Girl Scouts.
00:02:16:17 – 00:02:45:24
Camilla Chan
And, you know, people were disregarding the beauty of diversity, which in the United States is the fabric of our communities. And, you know, my Girl Scout senses were tingling a little bit. And as an Asian-American myself, I knew I wanted my project to be about using education to build understanding and empathy and ultimately see a world where communities are strengthened by diversity rather than divided by diversity.
00:02:45:24 – 00:02:48:20
Camilla Chan
So Girl Scouts definitely played a big role in that.
00:02:48:22 – 00:03:07:09
Sheryl Robinson
As you mentioned, you had three components. You had your vlogs, you had your education sessions, and you have your book, all of which you brought together with a website. Why and how did you pick those different aspects as your methods for sharing your story?
00:03:07:11 – 00:03:31:21
Camilla Chan
At the beginning it was just workshops because I knew I wanted to work with children, I love children. So, I was working with them. And then I realized that if, like, I wanted my audience to not just be children, and also I also wanted to target, like my age to teenagers and also adults. And what better than to do that on social media, which is where everyone is at.
00:03:31:23 – 00:03:59:14
Camilla Chan
And YouTube was my go to place because I also wanted to showcase how, you know, Asian cultures aren’t just in Asia. The United States is kind of like a melting pot. Asian cultures can be found in America too. So and and coupled with the fact that I wanted to sort of encourage others to explore different cultures. So encouraging people to explore and eating cultures can also be found in America.
00:03:59:15 – 00:04:21:11
Camilla Chan
There’s two things I kind of combine them. And the YouTube videos were the best, was the best option for me to kill two birds with one stone. And, moving on to my book. So that was sort of like the sustainability portion of my project. I also really like drawing, so that kind of just pushed me in the path of doing something art related.
00:04:21:11 – 00:04:26:10
Camilla Chan
And, you know, I like children, I like art together makes the book.
00:04:26:12 – 00:04:30:13
Sheryl Robinson
And that art in the book is so cute.
00:04:30:15 – 00:04:31:18
Camilla Chan
Thank you.
00:04:31:20 – 00:04:47:04
Sheryl Robinson
One piece you mentioned on your website is there are over 50 Asian American Asian cultures, and you chose five of them. I’m sure that was a very difficult choice. How did you narrow down to the choices that you made?
00:04:47:06 – 00:05:09:09
Camilla Chan
It was sort of random, just a little bit. I mean, any person, I’m Chinese-American, so I had to do Chinese, and then, I did I sort of just did a few of the bigger Asian populations, but like, for sure, I made sure to tell people that just because I chose these five, it doesn’t mean that these five were any better than the other.
00:05:09:09 – 00:05:31:01
Camilla Chan
Like. All of them were unique. All of them were beautiful. It just happens that I just selected these five and one of them is my own. And also, I make sure to fact check because I have some friends who are of those cultures, and I want to make sure that I’m saying the right thing. So I asked them beforehand as well to help me out.
00:05:31:03 – 00:05:59:13
Sheryl Robinson
When you did your videos, what interesting pieces did you pull out of your videos? For me, when I watch them, for example, I really appreciated when you were in the markets and you looked at the different clothing, how you shared, what the different clothings were, and why they were unique to that culture. And I didn’t realize how different each one of them actually were.
00:05:59:13 – 00:06:02:10
Sheryl Robinson
What did you learn that you didn’t know before?
00:06:02:13 – 00:06:25:22
Camilla Chan
It was definitely the religion. Oh, I think so. I’m Buddhist, but I don’t know a lot about the other religions, but I know the Filipino culture. They’re a big proponent of Christianity, and they actually have a festival where they celebrate, Santo Nino, which is like baby Jesus. So I think I learned a little bit about the religions of each culture.
00:06:25:24 – 00:06:51:04
Camilla Chan
I also really liked the cuisine. There’s actually a faith, a phrase. It’s like the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach. So, you know, I fell more in love with all these cultures after trying their foods. I love going like Chang’e five and Little Saigon. I tried the little emojis from Forget the Dough and went to Tokyo.
00:06:51:06 – 00:06:56:23
Camilla Chan
Generally, learning more about the cuisine and the religion was something I learned through the vlogs.
00:06:57:00 – 00:07:04:05
Sheryl Robinson
I loved the food and the drinks that you chose. They were also colorful and I just wanted to go and taste them.
00:07:04:07 – 00:07:14:19
Camilla Chan
I think one of my most popular videos is when I went to Historic Filipino Town, and I went to like a it’s sort of like an all you can eat, but you grow your own meat.
00:07:14:21 – 00:07:29:24
Sheryl Robinson
It was super interesting. I really encourage people to go watch those videos. You talked about the origination of your project. Was the presentation that you were making. Can you share some more about those presentations and the impact that you actually had?
00:07:30:01 – 00:07:59:02
Camilla Chan
How my workshop worked was I had a I had like a slide show that talked about the culture, the significance, the difference. First, the difference between cultures and traditions, because these are little kids. So they’re like, what is that? And the importance of learning about a culture tradition. And then I talked about the geographic location. Someone said that, it was funny because someone said that I think it was Vietnam was located in the United States.
00:07:59:02 – 00:08:24:12
Camilla Chan
Someone like when I asked them where it’s located, they’re like, it’s in the United States. And I was like, nope, but that’s funny. and then also talked about some of their really popular festivals like Chinese New Year and for Chinese culture, for example. And, some popular foods, and also lastly, some Asian Americans from that, just that, just to show that you can find this culture inside America.
00:08:24:14 – 00:08:48:19
Camilla Chan
And then after showcasing that interactive slides, I also did a hands on activity. So like I mentioned there was the potato fall. But then for like Indian culture for example, I had them do henna bookmarks. So it’s like a design, but they usually do it like on their arms. But I had them do it on like a bookmark, a paper so that they can try.
00:08:48:21 – 00:09:11:16
Camilla Chan
I think for Chinese culture there is paper lanterns. For Japan. There were these Japanese fans where they decorated with sakura flowers. Yeah. And then after the after they did the activity, I also bought some snacks. So in the in the Philippines, mango is really popular there. So I had like mango cake, like little like a little tiny cake like that.
00:09:11:18 – 00:09:22:15
Camilla Chan
And I just passed it out. So but I make sure that their parents are okay with it too, because it’s just in case that I showed you so or not. but also girl, sort of gist of my workshops.
00:09:22:17 – 00:09:37:24
Sheryl Robinson
I know that on your website, in order to help promote Asian American heritage, you have shared those activities. Can you tell us about what’s on your website and how adults and teachers may be able to use those resources?
00:09:38:01 – 00:10:01:21
Camilla Chan
Of course, the you pop up my website really quick. so if anyone’s watched this wants to follow along. So on my home page there are some tabs on the top, and there’s one called workshops. And if you click on that there’s it says Workshop Outline and all my slides for Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Japanese and Filipino are all posted there.
00:10:01:23 – 00:10:36:01
Camilla Chan
And all the topics I listed like the festivals, the Asian Americans, they’re all in the slides. And there’s also a button called activities for Cultural Workshops. If you click on that or go into a Google doc with all the different, all the different interactive activities. And each activity has a link, either a YouTube link or like a image presentation that teaches like, let’s say it’s like a teacher who wants to use them, who teaches the teacher how to make them so that they can teach their students as well.
00:10:36:03 – 00:10:43:01
Camilla Chan
And yeah, that’s that’s how my if you want to access them, it’s on my website and it’s all free.
00:10:43:03 – 00:11:00:16
Sheryl Robinson
You mentioned that you have over 2500 views on your YouTube videos, and that you’ve served over 500 participants during your workshops. How did you promote and be able to reach out to that many people?
00:11:00:18 – 00:11:31:18
Camilla Chan
At first it was really, really difficult. but the and the promotion and the fundraising sort of was where in hand together and I’ll, I’ll explain why. So at first it was I wanted to build my funds in order to print my books. It was really difficult. I went to restaurant. I remember I went to movie calendar and then mid elevator speech, the manager went like I, you know, I was like, oh, okay, that’s how year, I want to write short.
00:11:31:18 – 00:11:55:20
Camilla Chan
So besides that I’m going to restaurants I went to. I even went to a hotel after school programs, tutoring services, libraries, etc. I went everywhere in my city and tried to ask for like sponsorships as well as, you know, promote my project. But at the end of the day, I got a whopping total of nada. Zero. They well, it was like they did well, zero support.
00:11:55:20 – 00:12:22:12
Camilla Chan
So I actually committed follow through. So I had to change like my game plan. rather than reaching out to people I didn’t really know, I reached out to people like around me and people and you personally. So I made like 500 business cards. I made the website. I also create like a sponsorship tier system. So if you donated $1,000, you would be a platinum supporter and you would get a signed copy of my book.
00:12:22:14 – 00:12:47:02
Camilla Chan
You what? Your name would be bigger on my sponsorship page in my book and like I would promote you on my I thank you in my social media pages and I during that time I reached out to literally everyone I met. So that was also part of the promoting process other than Girl Scouts. That summer I also went to like competitions and a lot of Georgia.
00:12:47:04 – 00:13:13:18
Camilla Chan
I went to like a Stem workshop, so all those areas, even if they’re not Girl Scout related, I passed out my business cards and I think that was like one of the biggest things I learned is to not be afraid to approach people, because in that competition now, a lot of Georgia, I actually met a literary agent, Miss Scratch Koski, and she actually helped me distribute a hundred copies of my book in Wisconsin, which is where she came from.
00:13:13:24 – 00:13:25:00
Camilla Chan
So, you know, it’s cool that my books are a Wisconsin. so, you know, the fundraising process was actually what helped me promote, because that was how I got to meet a lot of people.
00:13:25:02 – 00:13:34:24
Sheryl Robinson
What was most surprising to you during the process that you didn’t know about going into a gold word process and could be helpful for other Girl Scouts and myself?
00:13:34:24 – 00:14:03:00
Camilla Chan
A little cliche, but the biggest thing that I learned is that there’s opportunities all around us, but it’s really up to us, ourselves to take the first step and get those opportunities, because in reality, you know, they’re not going to come to you. You have to go to them. I think the biggest like moment was when I decided that I wanted to make a bigger impact.
00:14:03:02 – 00:14:29:16
Camilla Chan
You know, I, I knew that I wanted my project to be global. So I was I had the idea of having my book as an e-book. So everyone who has access to the internet can basically know, read my book, but not actually go to different areas in person. But, you know, just just to test it out, I contacted the libraries in New York and actually in Queens, New York, the library, Jackson Heights Library.
00:14:29:18 – 00:14:49:03
Camilla Chan
They accepted my project proposal. So they were another one of my partners. And I actually flew to New York to give a presentation and pass out my books to the people, to the children in the library. But then during that time, I also knew that this was a public event, and I didn’t want to go and have no one show up.
00:14:49:05 – 00:15:13:08
Camilla Chan
So this was like an example of me, like paving my own path, building my own opportunities. Because at that time I thought, yeah, at that time, I reached out to Girl Scouts of Greater New York to help build my publicity. I was like, oh, would you mind helping me promote my flier? So they posted my flier on their Facebook page and their newsletter.
00:15:13:10 – 00:15:39:11
Camilla Chan
And actually on the day of the event, I think half of the audience were all Girl Scouts, so that’s really exciting. Girl Scouts from New York. And I also reached out to World Journal, which is a which is the largest Chinese newspaper company in the United States, and they actually agreed to interview me and write, publish an article about me in the New York section of World Journal.
00:15:39:11 – 00:16:00:01
Camilla Chan
So that was also really cool, too. I didn’t know that I would be in the newspaper and I didn’t know that so many Girl Scouts come, but those two things were because I took the initiative to step out. so there’s opportunities all around us if you get rejected from them, don’t worry. Rejection is all part of the process.
00:16:00:03 – 00:16:19:14
Camilla Chan
I think that’s one of the beauties of this project because we all learn and grow from our failures. And even if you don’t, if you if you get rejected, you can always try again. And if you really like, if none of the opportunities work out, you can always make your own. And you know, never give up. Things will work in your favor.
00:16:19:16 – 00:16:46:22
Sheryl Robinson
What can you say to reinforce that with Girl Scouts that are going into their Gold Award projects and have never done public speaking, have never had to network, and those sorts of things, what kind of encouragement can you give them to help them build that confidence and create some of the successes for themselves so that you were able to create for yourself?
00:16:46:24 – 00:17:10:05
Camilla Chan
I, I definitely like, relate to that because I didn’t have that many, opportunities to practice networking either. And I was I definitely struggled with public speaking as well. for the public speaking portion, for me, it was just also stepping outside my comfort. So I knew that, you know, not just Girl Scouts, but in life too.
00:17:10:05 – 00:17:28:23
Camilla Chan
And in college and my career, public speaking is going to be a major part of my career path. So if I don’t overcome it, it’s going to be a bigger burden in the future. And, you know, right now is the time to make mistakes. You don’t want to make mistakes that work. so I was like, I’m just going to bite the bullet and do it.
00:17:29:04 – 00:17:51:01
Camilla Chan
I like to tell myself, you know, ten years from now, no one’s going to remember. No one’s going to remember the time when you forgot a line or something. You know, I workshops, it wasn’t perfect at first either, but there children, they don’t really know. So I’m just like, you know, whatever. I just kept practicing and eventually, you know, my public speaking became better.
00:17:51:07 – 00:18:12:09
Camilla Chan
And to those Girl Scouts who need to incorporate public speaking, it’s more projects. So, you know, you’re the only one who knows the most about your project. I don’t think you should. You don’t have to be scared because most of the questions is about you and your project, which you know already. So just practice and it might be scary at first.
00:18:12:11 – 00:18:34:00
Camilla Chan
Don’t worry, my knees were shaking the first time with some help, but in the end, the more you practice, the better you get. And I think that works for most things as well. And then for networking, I think the easiest way is to maybe start with, like, your friends and your family because they’re closer to you.
00:18:34:00 – 00:19:05:08
Camilla Chan
So you can practice present presenting your elevator speech, to them and, you know, ask for some feedback and then afterwards just start branching out slowly but steadily. You can maybe go to your teachers who are a little less as close. But, you know, you you still know them. After teachers, whoever you meet along the way. I think that’s just now slow and steady, and eventually you’ll be able to branch out.
00:19:05:10 – 00:19:27:03
Camilla Chan
And I think also how could, not work of like, but like make sure to respond promptly for your emails so that you can keep up that connection. You don’t want to, like, meet someone and then sever that connection immediately by not responding back to their emails. Or if they call you, you know, and you somehow you don’t pick up, you know, try to call them back.
00:19:27:03 – 00:19:41:07
Camilla Chan
I was like, oh, I’m so sorry. was there something you wanted to mention about the role? Try to keep up those connections as much as possible, because maybe further down your path you might need them again. Yeah, I think that’s my tips for that.
00:19:41:09 – 00:20:12:24
Sheryl Robinson
I’m really impressed with your thought in bringing information to the Stem event that you went to in Georgia and reaching out to Girl Scouts of Greater New York when you were doing an event there. How can you help other Girl Scouts think about activities that might be completely unrelated to their project, and encourage them to envelope everything they’re doing back to their project?
00:20:13:01 – 00:20:40:17
Camilla Chan
So in the Stem camp specifically, yes, that was a little harder. but I just started up a conversation with something that’s more broad. For example, let’s say your instructor there always say like, oh, do you happen to know anyone who’s in the, book who likes writing books or I or would Alice down? are there any, like, equity programs in this?
00:20:40:19 – 00:21:06:07
Camilla Chan
Because this workshop, this Stem camp was located in a college. So I was like, are there any equity programs located in this college? Because, like, my project was centering around equity, you know, Asian American culture and stuff like that. And then after they set their answers, I was slowly branch to my project would be like, oh, I asked because I’m working on my project, which is about equity.
00:21:06:09 – 00:21:31:03
Camilla Chan
would you like to hear about it? And then, you know, make conversation? I would sneakily give them my business card and then it’s. And then if they seem interested, I’ll talk more. If they don’t, it’s okay. Maybe word will go out. Maybe they’ll tell their other person that on a friend of a friend who is really interested, and then they will reach out to me, and then I make sure to tell them, actually, I’d like to have a business card right here.
00:21:31:05 – 00:21:54:00
Camilla Chan
I have like, like email, my website and my YouTube channel. So I’ll be sure, like if you have any questions, you can email me here. So that was sort of what I did in my, for, for Stem for doing something that’s trying to connect my project to something that’s not related. I don’t recommend, just like jumping straight in to be like, hi, would you like to hear about my project?
00:21:54:00 – 00:22:16:06
Camilla Chan
Like they might be a little scary at first, so easier and with like some sort of question that is broad. And then for my for the for the competition, that was a little easier for me because the competition actually had workshops. One of the workshops was about entrepreneurship sort of related, I don’t know, but I just attended just for the fun of it.
00:22:16:08 – 00:22:37:07
Camilla Chan
And then after the speaker was done speaking, I went up to the speaker and I asked them, wow, this is really like it’s I learned a lot from my entrepreneurship workshop. I’m actually working on my book, which I want to promote more and, you know, spread my influence about. Do you have any do you have any tips on that or do you have anyone you can connect me with at?
00:22:37:08 – 00:23:11:00
Camilla Chan
So, you know, there was already like an opportunity for me to go up and talk about it because it’s somewhat related. She actually did not know anything about books, but she knew the literary agent. So she directed me towards that, that person, and that was how I met them. so yeah, I think really anyone who wants to incorporate their project and their like daily life, you just need to build conversation, build rapport and don’t be afraid to reach out because their connections might be the ones you need.
00:23:11:02 – 00:23:14:22
Sheryl Robinson
What was your biggest challenge during your project and how did you overcome it?
00:23:14:24 – 00:23:40:01
Camilla Chan
It was the funding. That was my biggest challenge and also the public speaking, and also did touch a little bit about it. But I want to delve a little deeper into the public speaking portion. I knew that I really liked working with children because in my my Silver Award project, I did like a cybersecurity workshop where we also taught, children.
00:23:40:01 – 00:24:07:03
Camilla Chan
So I really like that. And because I was so passionate about teaching children, that helped a lot in overcoming my, fear of public speaking. So for those who are scared of public speaking, trying to find try to find something you’re really, really passionate about, because if you’re really passionate about it, you don’t have to worry about being scared of other stuff, like sort of you’ll I hope you overcome that.
00:24:07:05 – 00:24:09:22
Sheryl Robinson
Do you have a favorite memory from your project to share?
00:24:10:01 – 00:24:33:13
Camilla Chan
I think it was when I went to the school and I was presenting. I did like a read along, for my book. And I also like during each page, I don’t know if you like. They’re like my before, but my book is a it’s called Hidden Joys of Asia. It’s about a grandma chicken and her three little, her three little.
00:24:33:13 – 00:25:04:05
Camilla Chan
Let me show you. And if they were all nephews, nieces, the granddaughters and grandsons, we’re also chickens. And they go on an adventure, because she has a box with different jewels from each culture. And basically, for example, like the first jewel is tea from China. And you can see this, both of these pages have different Chinese cultures, like there’s tea, there’s a flag, and there’s also the animal, which is a which is the rabbit.
00:25:04:05 – 00:25:32:05
Camilla Chan
And in Chinese culture, the rabbit symbolizes longevity. So for each of these pages where I talk about you, I also talk about the different Chinese cultures. And one of them is, of course, I mentioned the fall from Vietnam. And during this time I ask the question, has anyone here tried fall before and a lot of people raise their hand, but then there’s just one little boy specific, like it’s really exciting.
00:25:32:05 – 00:25:52:06
Camilla Chan
He’s like, I tried before and I was like, oh, would you like to say something? And he goes, he’s basically goes on like a two minute tangent about how much he loves fall, but in reality it’s just him saying, I love fall, but in different variation. It was super cute. And at that moment I was just like, oh, that’s so cute.
00:25:52:06 – 00:26:11:21
Camilla Chan
And you know, like moments like these when they’re just so innocent and they just can’t wait to express their feelings. And then like afterwards, several of those children came up and hugged me and I was like, oh, they get really angry. and they also like to talk about like, oh, like, oh, does anyone want to write their own book?
00:26:11:21 – 00:26:32:20
Camilla Chan
And they would like to, like, I love hearing their stories about what drawings they did before and whatnot. They actually at the, at after all my workshops, all the students write like a little thank you card and they do their own drawing. Also, I had a lot of fun looking through those and seeing their own versions that the chicken looked like one of them had really long legs.
00:26:33:00 – 00:26:47:04

I think that was one of my favorite memories. Just meeting with the children and hearing their little stories and kind of kind of reminded me of my own innocence back in the day. Makes me sound, oh, looks like. Yeah, that’s my favorite.
00:26:47:04 – 00:26:50:16

Memory. Who was on your team and how did they help you?
00:26:50:18 – 00:27:14:21
Camilla Chan
The obvious was my parents. They drove me everywhere to my workshops and they helped me brainstorm about everything. They were my biggest supporters, but other than my parents, the other people on my team were my English teacher, my friends. They helped me revise my book. If I had, like, grammar mistakes that I didn’t see, they were like, oh, you forgot X here.
00:27:14:21 – 00:27:36:24
Camilla Chan
And I’m like, oh, thank you so much. They gave me feedback for my book. So that was from the book crochet. I also had my Chinese teachers. She was she’s really passionate about Chinese, about Chinese. She actually taught me AP Chinese. but I had her look through my Chinese part of the book. My friends also helped with my the cultures in my book as well.
00:27:37:01 – 00:28:01:09
Camilla Chan
And then, of course, there were also the community partners. The director of YMCA, Moneyball is Mr. Parsec, and he actually played a pretty big role as one of my supporters, as one of my team members, because after my workshop, he actually nominated me as a citizen of the month for the city of Montebello. I don’t even live in LA, but like he would send me anyways.
00:28:01:11 – 00:28:20:11
Camilla Chan
after that I got a lot of recognition because they posted me. They posted about me and my project and their, social media accounts, and they also put me on their local newspaper. And at the time, that was like when I was trying to fundraise and promote, like, but I did. I wasn’t that successful at the time.
00:28:20:13 – 00:28:40:00
Camilla Chan
And but having that recognition and having Mr. Parsec like nominate me, that was a big confidence booster. And he also helped me like, believe in myself. Like, you know, even if it doesn’t look like it’s not even if it looks like it’s not going to work out, it will in the end. And we have you have supporters like me to help you.
00:28:40:02 – 00:28:57:01
Camilla Chan
This is Mr. Powers thing saying that to me. So I was I was very fortunate to have someone like him help me during that time when I was thinking to myself like, I don’t have enough funds, maybe I shouldn’t do a book at all. And so having him on my, on the my team definitely helped a lot.
00:28:57:03 – 00:28:59:09
Sheryl Robinson
What else would you like to share with the audience?
00:28:59:10 – 00:29:35:20
Camilla Chan
I do have a lot of fun fact, which is my website actually gives me like a report, like a statistics about the people who view that. And one of the things I’m most astonished about is how much coverage my website actually got. So actually there’s people from 21 states and 14 countries who have you. My website. And I was like, it was really surprising to me to think that, you know, there’s people from Indonesia, Brazil, Hong Kong, Africa, like there’s people from these places.
00:29:36:00 – 00:29:43:14
Camilla Chan
We’ve actually viewed my project. So I they’ve a little fun fact about also like, you don’t know where your project and I go.
00:29:43:16 – 00:29:45:14
Sheryl Robinson
How do you make your s’mores?
00:29:45:16 – 00:30:05:21
Camilla Chan
I actually don’t like putting the Hershey chocolate inside. I just take the do graham crackers and then the marshmallow and then I, I’ve seen some of my friends, they like, like bring it back to the like. They like putting in the fire and the entire marshmallow is like engulfed in flames. Now they blow it out and afterwards it’s all black.
00:30:05:21 – 00:30:17:02
Camilla Chan
Well, they like that, but I like it when it’s just like the perfect toasty brown color. And I just put it in those two ground crackers. Or sometimes I just eat off the stove. That’s how I like my solos.
00:30:17:04 – 00:30:19:08
