I read a whole lot of mail in the ONE inbox. Messages like the one below remind me that our generation is different; we are ready and energetic to respond to the global crises of our time.
Best of luck from the ONE Team, Rebecca!

Dear ONE Team,
My name is Rebecca, I am 19 years old and am a freshman in college. I am going to create a group on campus dedicated to the ONE Campaign and their efforts. In spreading the word, I hope to eventually make our campus a Campus of ONE. This is the first time for me heading a club or organization, so I am pretty nervous. But I feel like I need to help spread the word, and thought this would be a great way to do it. If you have any advice or anything that would make this progress a little easier, it would be greatly appreciated. I meet with the leader of student organizations tomorrow where I will present my idea, and hopefully watch it get off the ground. All of you have inspired me so much. I just wanted to say thank you for giving me the courage to do this and informing so many people about issues that need to be addressed. Wish me luck!
Have a great night.
Thanks again,
Rebecca
