Making a difference in the world

Darla Dunn, 15-year-old sophomore at Raytown (Missouri) High School, was so moved by being part of a church mission work team to post-Katrina Gulfport, Mississippi, that she decided to walk in Kansas City's Heart of America CROP Hunger Walk.

To solicit others' participation and support, Darla (pictured with other walkers, standing at the right) wrote in the Raytown paper. "I have seen people here in the United States that need help and I have heard about the need outside our country... I really want to get out there and make a difference in the world. I discovered the CROP Hunger Walk is one of those ways."
