THINKFAST - March 11, 2015
On March 11th students from the Leadership classes ran our annual Thinkfast event to support the Catholic organization Development and Peace. This year's theme was SOW MUCH LOVE - how genetically modified seeds are impacting small farmers in the global south.
"Seeds are the heritage of family farmers and peasants, who preserve them to feed their families, their communities, and the world. However, seeds are increasingly being controlled and privatized by multinational companies. Without access to seeds, the way of life of small family farmers and peasants, most of whom live in the Global South, is threatened. By supporting small family farmers in their struggle to maintain the world’s seed biodiversity, we will ensure that they can continue to feed their families, and play a major role in fighting global hunger."

Students that were part of the Mural Project participated in Thinkfast by speaking at the beginning of the event and sharing how this was connected to the recent Mural Project and opening with a hand drum song. A video/slide show was also shown to continue spreading the message about getting involved in making a difference with our Mother Earth
