Crixenauf: SHU's ONE Challenge

Last week I received an e-mail inviting me to join the college ONE challenge to stamp out poverty from Sacred Heart University. From the ONE Challenge website ;

Throughout the challenges' three stages, ONE will reward campuses for their efforts. In January, at the beginning of phase 2, ONE will fly representatives from the top 100 schools to D.C. for an elite three-day conference, and in February, at the start of phase 3, ONE will present the top 10 schools with grants to fund their own poverty-fighting programs.
In the end, ONE will reward the school that proves that its students are the most creative and effective poverty fighters in the country.
In 2004, Brad Pitt joined activist Bono as a spokesman for the One campaign to strive for "providing basic needs like health,education,clean water, and food, in Africa." He called on Americans to help Africa and the poorest nations beat AIDS and extreme poverty. Visit http://www.sacredheart.edu for more info on the challenge.
