Our Zero Hunger Hero<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that 1 out of 9 people (821 million) go to bed hungry each night? Eradicating hunger and malnutrition is one of the great challenges of our time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we solve this problem? As the famous proverb says, “\u2018Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Social entrepreneur Taylor Quinn does this by empowering entrepreneurs by building low-cost food systems, starting in Liberia and then a number of other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We first met Taylor Quinn at the Global Innovation Field Trip (GIFT)<\/a> last October. Having been inspired by his company, Tailored Food<\/a>, and the Delicious and Nutritious K-12 Food Challenge<\/a> he launched, we connected with him hoping to request him to personally invite other homeschoolers to join the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having been inspired by the young speakers in GIFT and other innovators who were very eager to share their knowledge about STEM and innovations, I pitched the idea of doing interviews with our kids from WonderfullyMadeKids<\/a> and their friends from Homeschooling by Grace<\/a> who had more experience in hosting and leading online activities for their homeschool clubs. The kids agreed and “The DIVRGENTS” was born. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DIVRGENTS <\/a>is a youth project with a mission to dive into the lives and work of people who make a difference in this world, the divergents. Formed by young homeschoolers who have known each other since they were small, these young minds worked together to make this project happen. DIVRGENT stands for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group met and collaborated online to work on their brand, assign tasks, share interviewing tips, brainstorm on the interview questions, work out the details, correspond with the interviewee, create the poster, and do tech rehearsals and mock interviews. It was a meaningful learning experience for all of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
