Student Ambassadors Last Meeting 12/6/'07

For everyone who was not there, I hope to describe the meeting well (and maybe make some quais-minutes in the future). Dr. O and Nana both thanked us for all the work and commitment that we have given to the group. We reflected on the soup kitchen and how we felt about going again on a constant basis. Also, I have tentatively scheduled a Human Rights workshop for March 8th with Drug Trafficking and Human Rights in Mexico as the topic. If anyone has any ideas for speakers and/or activities, e-mail me or post a comment or separate post. Also, we said good bye to Anna Aluko, who is graduating this semester. Hopefully she'll be back to see us all in May. Please, please, please use this site to post and visit often, as I get better at posting much more often, hopefully daily. Have a wonderful vacation, and let's all keep in touch! tiau!

Too much food?

Hey there! Hope your finals are going well. Adam brought to my attention an interesting aspect of free rice. Is it really true that the World Food Program doesn't have enough food? Is it really that people are taking advantage of the aid and selling it? Does it matter if the world food program has enough food if it can't even efficiently proportion what it has? Check out this skeptical opinion and the responses to these opinions here. For an opinion supporting free rice, click here. Research more if you're really interested! They're not from renowned sources, but hey, it's good to know what any type of person thinks.
