There should be no fear of a future with these kind of kids driving it....
10 year old Katie, who is sharing with us her experience of helping to end childhood hunger. 
She wanted to share this in hopes that you would follow in her footsteps with her fantastic ideas!
How did you first get involved in the fight against childhood hunger? I first got involved with the fight against hunger when I received my cabbage seedling from a third grade cabbage program with Bonnie Plants. I planted my seedling, cared for it and it grew and grew and grew. When it was done growing in weighed 40 pounds. It was huge! My mom called Fields to Families and they helped us find a perfect home for my cabbage - Tri County Family Ministries. 
I brought it there and it fed 275 people. They let me serve my cabbage and it was so great to see what my cabbage did. People thanked me and it made me feel so good. For that one day I made a big difference in the lives of 275 people and I was only 9 years old. I had the idea that I could do more and help more people.
Can you tell us more about your fundraising efforts and garden? I found a very creative way to launch my dream and start gardens. I entered the Amazing Kids! Launch My Dream! t-shirt design contest. You can see my cute t-shirt design at Meri’s site, www.verymeri.com. The profits I get from my shirt go towards the fight against hunger (10%). Amazing Kids! also gets 10% to help other kids launch their dream.
What were some of the first steps you took to work towards your dream? My garden originated in May of ‘08. We had all sort of plants. But the biggest was my cabbage! It stood out with it’s soaring cage around it to protect it from wild animals.
How have others helped your work towards your goal? So many people helped me- Fields to Families found the right soup kitchen which started my dream and now they are helping me to be a Master Gardener. Meri from VeryMeri has helped by selling my shirt to raise money. Amazing Kids! selected me as the winner and are helping to Launch my dream also. My family helps me everyday by encouraging me and my school has been great by helping me start a garden.
