Hey look, I'm posting about an event that happened today.
Alright, I have to admit it's only because I'm procrastinating studying for my two tests tomorrow.
Today was the kick-off of Poverty Awareness Week on Mizzou's campus. We started off with a day of tabling and getting the word about our events this week as well as selling BeadforLife jewelry. This is our second year doing a BeadforLife event and MU absolutely eats it up. It's awesome.
We got quite a few people signed up for our email list and even more people excited about the week.
From there it was off to Hickman High School to talk with their Global Issues group. A reporter and a photographer from the Maneater came along for the ride as well.
Since the kids at Hickman have so many organizations and the faculty is already stretched too thin, rather than creating a ONE group at the school, we have decided it best to work with an organization already in place working towards the same goals as ONE.
I got the opportunity to talk with the students and introduce ONE Mizzou and what we are doing. Then I threw out some ideas for possible events we could work on together and possibly with other surrounding high schools. We will definitely be working with this group of students in the future.
I have more tests to procrastinate studying for.
That means there will probably be another post tomorrow.
