Service+and+Leadership

===I was recently at a conference where a lot of people spoke about poverty around the world. One of the wonderful speakers, Ash Barker, talked about how our world faces huge problems that need our brightest minds addressing them, since there's no easy answers. That made me think of you, my students, of course!=== ===Another speaker (Mark Stewart, from Audio Adrenaline) shared about people in Haiti actually making little "cakes" out of dirt and oil to feed children before they go to sleep so they won't cry from empty stomachs...=== ===I keep thinking about this...people actually eating DIRT because they're starving! Here's one article about the situation: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/29/food.internationalaidanddevelopment.===
