World Affairs Seminar

Three John Gray High School students, Asaph Scott, Renee Lindo and Mariah Tibbetts, with their parents, were briefed recently by PP Fred Speirs on their upcoming trip to Carroll University, Wisconsin. There, they will be attending the World Affairs Seminar.

The theme for 2009 is "World Hunger: Ethical Dilemma of Our Time" and will feature photojournalist Peter Menzel and former television news producer Faith D'Aluisio, authors of the book, What the World Eats, and creators of the display, Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.

PP Fred commented that this year's group has gone out of its way to ensure adequate preparation on the topic. "They had me email the conference organisers several weeks ago asking for reading lists," he noted.

The three students are scheduled to give a presentation on their week-long experience at our 7th July meeting.
