Sewing a Difference

It's great to hear about people doing great things. To many times in the news business we hear about the bad stories or tragedies. And while important, it is good to note that there are positive stories in the mix. I was sent to cover a story about a high school student who started sewing fabric grocery bags with her friends to sell in an effort to raise money for a charity. It was great to see the ambition and creativity of such a young individual.
