“About 25,000 people die everyday from hunger or hunger-related causes…”
            When asked, “What do you think poverty is?” my 18-year old nephew replied, “Those hungry children in Africa with all those flies around them.” This may seem funny at first, but it is sad that the youth are so ignorant of this topic. Many of [...]

Honestly, I haven’t begun to implement my project. It is a work in progress, very slow progress. Recently, I started thinking that I was making this too big and it would be too much for me to handle, and it is. However, I think it would benefit others more than it would hurt me. I’m [...]

My project is going okay. Breannah and I have decided to team up and merge our ideas together. I think that merging our projects together will be even more powerful than us doing our projects individually. We just have to really think about what it is we want to do. Once we come up with [...]

This is my logo and representation that summarizes my project. This is the logo of the organization that we will be assisting to help distribute food to the hungry.

 I want to thank everyone for the positive feedback on my project. I want to especially thank Framiz for the idea of making this a class effort. Since so many people in the class are addressing the poverty issue, maybe we can join forces and make this an even bigger effort. My grandma usually says, [...]
