Day Four- Can that be?

It's Thursday night, tomorrow is the last day of the Summit, and I'm sitting here realizing that I'm going to miss ya'll.

I think that it's a real testiment that after 4 days- I'm looking forward to seeing you in the morning! :)

I sat there watching each of you today as you attempted to pass (or defeat) the "Peanut Law" in the House Chamber - each of you so present, going for it, just like you have with each experience all week long. Thank you for all you've given this week.

And it's not over yet!

See you tomorrow.

ps- how was the PRC? I wish I could have been there!

Youth Summit on Hunger and Poverty

Each year the Atlanta Community Food Bank hosts a Youth Summit on hunger and poverty for metro-Atlanta high school students, who gain in-depth knowledge about hunger and poverty issues. Students participate in field trips, service projects, and learn the different community and governmental responses to hunger and poverty. The Summit empowers them to take action, helping them to identify, plan and initiate an action step against hunger within their own community. This blog is a space where participants can share, reflect and chronicle their journey and where Summit alumni, friends, and family can encourage (and be encouraged!) them to be agents of change in their communities.
