Committee

Amy Edmonds Katherine Zhang

Take a moment to think.

• Reflect upon the life you live right now...• Most of us are fortunate enough to be

able to afford things beyond basic necessities

• Imagine your world if you couldn’t see or use your hands...for the rest of your life

• What would life be like without all the food that is constantly available to us?

➡what we do and what we want to achieve

How can we change the world?
