Hello readers! My name is Amanda and I am a college student majoring in English and Journalism. I am also a member of competitive collegiate forensics. As a junior, I have seen many performances in this activity that have personally affected me or someone I know. Each weekend I compete, I learn something new that I would love to share. Through this blog, I'll be examining and advocating for various speeches/topics that were presented during competition, that way others can learn how they too, can help make a difference. For more information about this activity, view the first blog.

Giving the gift of food for Mother's Day

Treating mothers to breakfast in bed or a family dinner may seem to be logical and loving gifts.

But for mothers struggling to put any sort of food on the table, these meals would come as a luxury.

On Sunday, people across the United States will celebrate Mother's Day to honor the women in their lives that have left an impact.

And this time, there is an opportunity for the gifts that mothers are given, to impact more than one person.

In an effort to fight world hunger, the World Food Progamme is providing ecards, or electronic Mother's Day cards, in honor of a mother.  Those wishing to participate can select a card from the list and make a donation in honor of their mother.

The proceeds will go toward defeating worldwide hunger.
