Our learning community members raised over $750.00 and thereby qualified to fill 15 boxes (216 bags of highly nutritious meals in each box for a total of 3240 cups of food) today at the Kids Against Hunger warehouse in Mankato. Above we are standing next to the pallet with our 15 boxes. We worked for about 2 hours and 15 minutes after viewing the Kids Against Hunger video. On the far right is Tim Stromer, the manager of the facility in Mankato. You can contact the Mankato facility here: Kids Against Hunger - Mankato, 500 Patterson Avenue, Mankato, MN 56001.
To the left you can see our learning community team posing on a break from our work packaging nutritious food for distribution. We were told that this particular shipment may be going to Haiti.

Great work global learning community! I am so impressed that you raised $750... That is absolutely fantastic. Wouldn't it be great if the pallet would go to Haiti... then your Make a Difference project would truly coincide with our learning community reading of Kidder's Mountains beyond Mountains book! See you tomorrow night at the MAD Celebration (please use these two pictures in your presentation because they are great!---thank you Dr. Tesdell for helping to package and taking the photographs).
Cheers,
Dr. Flannery
