Participant Bio
I helped found WILL WORK FOR FOOD after my sophomore year at the University of Michigan in 2007. I majored in Economics at Michigan and am now applying to med school.
My motivation for the WILL WORK FOR FOOD initiative came from hearing President Clinton speak at my cousin's UofM graduation ceremony a couple years back. President Clinton spoke about how our world is unequal and unstable and how our generation is facing daunting challenges like fighting infectious diseases, malnutrition and poverty.
Although these issues are unsettling, he also provided a spark of inspiration by recognizing that with how connected the world is today through the media and internet, our generation has a greater potential to solve these matters by being "21st Century Global Citizens." Citizens that not just help others in our own communities but also commit to providing relief to those in need around the world.
Interdependence is what President Clinton called this ideal, and it is exactly what we are trying to encourage others to take on.
