GMSA, Globally Minded Student Activists, is a group of students that does all kinds of charitable events. The group meets every Friday during Triple A and anyone can join at any time. Feed My Starving Children, which they visited on Monday, September 28, was the first event the group has participated in this year.
As you know, millions of children are starving all around the world. Feed My Starving Children is a program that helps provide nutritious food to hungry boys and girls across the nation who are in need, to end the pain of hunger for children.
The students car pooled with each other To Feed My Starving Children in Chanhassen, Minnesota. English teacher Katie Kunz was the only adult chaperon who went with. They spent an overall hour and a half there, learning about the charity and making meals for young boys and girls.
The group packed an overall 12 boxes that consisted of 9,072 meals in only 45 minutes. Those 9,072 meals will feed about 25 children for a whole year. Each meal costs 17 cents to make, and all the money that pays for all the materials to make the meals is all made from donations.
“Team work was really important for this activity,” said Kunz. “You have to work together to make all the meals and get things done quickly in the time that you have there. It was an affective and efficient experience and I’m really glad i had to opportunity to go.”
