Arts in Compassion

Setting up an information table is an easy way to educate people about ONE and engage them in the fight against global poverty and disease. Just recently ONE Member and performance artist Maeva Renaud, teamed up with Art in Compassion, Inc. at Palm Beach Atlantic University to help inform students about how they can help those who are trapped by generational poverty.

During Maeva’s poetry set, she talked about the Millennium Development Goals and ways for people to advocate through ONE. After the event, Maeva told me that she was surprised and encouraged by the enthusiastic response from the students. With over 100 people in attendance, Maeva’s message is sure to inspire many to continue learning about U.S. efforts to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger and to take action in their own communities.
