Teachers against hunger
Students In Washington D.C. Get Creative To Design Solve Hunger Advocacy Campaign
As teachers, when your students explore a new concept in the classroom you want them to think critically about it and not just memorize facts.

Be The Difference For Hungry Syrian Families
Crayons. Paper. Paint. Welcome to art class, where kids around the globe dive into their imaginations to create their own worlds. This art class, however, is inside Kilis Refugee Camp in Turkey. Its students: young refugees who were forced to flee their homes in Syria because of conflict and violence. As they put crayon to paper, out pours memories – of home, of the conflict, of their frightening journey to the refugee camp where they are now safe. It’s troubling to see the very real images of Kalashnikovs and other guns and tanks they pull from their imaginations. The home they remember is part refuge, part war zone; and it’s clear just how much these kids have been through.
