Thanks Vaughn, 4-H(elping) ONE

Jun 1st, 2007 12:30 PM UTC
By Katie Andrews, ONE Regional Field Organizer

Eleven-year-old Vaughn Campbell learned about the ONE Campaign through his mother, Sally Campbell, who is a ONE member in West Virginia. Now Vaughn has become an active ONE member himself by talking to his 4-H group of 3rd-8th graders about ONE.

Vaughn explained to his mother that, “the point of 4-H is to help people and generally make things better, whether it is yourself or somebody halfway around the world.” After all, part of the 4-H pledge is ‘myself, my community, my country, my world.’

Like a true ONE member, he came prepared with wristbands and the ONE declaration. Great work, Vaughn!
