Hello readers!
Lyss here (it's short for Ellyssa); I’m a
junior, nutrition major at the University of Maryland. I am currently on
an alternative spring break trip in Huntington, West Virginia for the
week. I'm excited to work with the youth of this community on the importance
of health and nutrition wellness. I’m also looking forward to getting
closer with my fellow peers, which also care about community nutrition and
wellness, on this trip. After watching the documentary, A Place
at the Table, I’m fully realizing the extent to which my own country has
food insecurity. Presenting both the quantitative numbers and qualitative
stories of the people effected by food insecurity further motivates me to help
proactively stop this problem. I’m anticipating this week will be
rewarding in my growth as an individual and I can have an impact, even is
small, on the children I’m working with.
