GTD Students Featured in Santa Cruz Sentinel
Ag Against Hunger feeds needy by field gleaning
Santa Cruz Sentinel, 9/1/2009
Highlights from the coverage:
“…”Everyone grab a hairnet and gloves,” calls Abby Taylor-Silva of Ag Against Hunger.
Then, netted and gloved, knives in hand, students from as far away as Palestine, Malaysia, Kenya, Indonesia and Vietnam swarm with nearly 100 Monterey Bay locals into the fields of Martin Jefferson & Sons north of Salinas.
The volunteer gleaners are in a harvested field. Their job is to find the remaining heads of lettuce, big and healthy enough to collect for area food banks…”
 “…Gleaning a field is a new experience for many involved. But it fits in with the service ethic of these students and gives them hands-on experience…”
 “…”It’s about international peace, cooperation and justice,” said Chirag Sabunani, who grew up in India. “So I was really drawn to this program.” Sabunani attended the UWC campus in Trieste, Italy, before attending Northwestern University….”
 “…It’s for a good cause, we’re all doing something fairly different, and it’s a nice way to come together as a group,” said Sabunani. “Change the world one lettuce at a time.”…”
