"Knock, knock -- it&amp;apos;s Pauly D!\r\nThe MTV reality star (real name: Paul DelVecchio) recently performed at an Army base for soldiers being deployed to Afghanistan, and now the Jersey Shore star is continuing to give back on his spin-off series, The Pauly D Project.\r\n\r\nOn Thursday&amp;apos;s all-new episode, the Rhode Island-based disc jockey, 31, surprises 15-year-old cancer patient Dereck at his home, sending the teen into stunned silence.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The look on his face was what meant everything to me,&amp;quot; Pauly says in the above preview clip. Once Dereck recovers from the initial shock of seeing Pauly in his dining room, he and Pauly bond over Dereck&amp;apos;s newfound love for deejaying.\r\n\r\nLater, Pauly gifts the teen with t-shirts from his Dirty Couture line, headphones from 50 Cent and other goodies.\r\n&amp;quot;Dereck has had a bad time -- he&amp;apos;s been going through the treatments for two years now, and it makes me feel good that I can take his mind off that,&amp;quot; Pauly -- who worked with Rhode Island&amp;apos;s A Wish Come True organization to fulfill Dereck&amp;apos;s dream -- says in the clip.\r\n\r\nWatch more of the duo&amp;apos;s touching meet and greet in the clip above before the full episode of The Pauly D Project airs Thursday at 10:30 p.m. (EST) on MTV."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
