Students discuss world hunger via Zoom
Grauer School students recently received a personal briefing on the problem of world hunger with a member of the United Nations World Food Programme, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020 for its efforts to aid those in conflict zones and areas devastated by natural disasters. Students and teachers participated in a Zoom call with Mirjam Jaring, who is based in Rome, headquarters of the World Food Programme. After Jaring gave a brief presentation and showed a video about the WFP’s work, she took questions from the students and teachers. Juniors and seniors from Grauer’s U.S. history, English and economics classes participated.“The discussion allowed our students to learn about the WFP’s vital work to save lives and change lives around the world, and hopefully it will inspire them to do their part to assist those in need, both during their school careers and after they go out into the world as the leaders of tomorrow,” said Stuart Gr
