World Hunger Day

The halls of MLWGS were alight with orange ribbons on Thursday as the Global Citizens Corps, a recently founded club at the school, led in various activities to celebrate World Food Day.

“We’re raising awareness and taking action so that we can make an impact,” said Sam Halle, one of the co-presidents of the Global Citizen Corps.

Students could donate towards several charitable organizations and in exchange receive orange ribbons as a sign of gratitude. Other activities included wearing duct-tape Xs over shirts to represent the hundred children who die every ten minutes due to hunger. and providing canned food for the food bank.
