About the Author

Hi! My name is Lucas Califano; I work on this semester-long project with Ericka Gordon, Jordyn Zawatsky, Luis Lecini, and Robert Knight

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

Our project focuses on the collaboration between two groups, Soldiers Angels and Free Rice, aimed at alleviating hunger by providing food assistance to those in need. Through volunteering efforts and organizing food drives, we've been able to support approximately 200 individuals per event at soldiers angels. Free rice is a little more challenging to estimate but the organization is able to help millions of people worldwide making a tangible difference in their lives. Throughout the semester, we've gained valuable insights, particularly emphasizing the importance of effective communication and collaboration skills in our efforts to help others. Whether it's coordinating volunteers, promoting our events, or reaching out to communities in need, clear and efficient communication and collaboration has been very important to the success of our project.
