CWS Speak Out
York High School
|
Here’s an amazing CROP Hunger Walk! On a Thursday in October 2006, every student in the freshman class at York High School in Elmhurst participated a CROP Hunger Walk! In social studies classes that week, students examined causes of poverty by studying CWS videos and educational materials. Then they were given tools to respond: students were asked to try to raise $10 each, to make posters about hunger, and to help CWS fight poverty by Walking in a CROP Hunger Walk. As a result of these efforts, the students raised nearly $9,000! Way to go!

Students walked on the track in the field house at York H.S.
|
Students carried water bottles for a few laps. This helped them understand what it’s like for folks who must carry gallons of water everyday for any household need.
|
Posters with statistics about poverty, made by the students, surrounded the track.

Why not carry it on your head? Most women around the world do!
