The Problem
Hunger is a major problem all over the World. People must develop awareness of the issue and find ways to make a difference. This years \"Students Rebuild- Hunger Challenge\" project gave us a way to learn more about this issue of hunger and take actions to contribute to feeding people suffering from lack of food.
Our Plan
We used curriculum from the \"Hunger Challenge\", as well as other sources, to study the problems people face with having enough food. We then looked at our own lives as to our favorite foods and recipes to make it. We then created illustrated recipes that were sent into \'Students Rebuild\'. Each recipe we created generated $3.00 that was awarded to various charities dealing with hunger and malnutrition, such as UNICEF. We ended up with creating 15 recipes resulting in $45 donation. Most of recipes were about making some of our favorite foods, but some of them were figurative. Our \"Recipe for Great Community\" included ingredients like \'food for all\', shelter for all, acceptance of differences, smiles, cooperation, caring, empathy....etc. Our \"Recipe for a Great Roots&Shoots year included ingredients such as kindness, fun, working together, cooperation, problem solving, shared goals, acceptance of differences....etc.
