Last week, I attended a Penny Harvest roundtable at P.S. 163 in New York City. One remarkable fact about this roundtable was that the chair was a 5th Grade Student. The aim of the roundtable was to discuss how the $1,000 the students had raised over the past year had been assigned. I was extremely impressed by the level of research these students had undertaken and their rationale for assigning grants to various organizations.
Each year, Common Cents engages a group of interns to study a global issue of concern to youth and share that knowledge with their peers. This year, our interns studied hunger and they produced a cool and educational video promoting hunger awareness and exploring what the hunger looks like in New York City. The video, titled Faces of Hunger, is available on YouTube!
These are some reflections from our interns.
