About two months ago, Ms. Cynthia Lebron took on the role of advisor to the ONE club at the Somerset Academy Charter School located in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Under her guidance, the students have been meeting weekly to learn more about health issues and poverty in developing countries. In just two months, the group has already put together a number of awareness activities in order to get the rest of the school talking about ONE and how each student can use their voice to help fight poverty.

Just last week, on World AIDS Day, members of the ONE club attached red balloons to their back packs for the day. Written on each balloon were statistics about the HIV/AIDS pandemic. They got so many people talking about the disease that they are planning a ONE event this march with the hopes of reaching the larger community with their message.

Thanks to Ms. Lebron and the student members of the ONE club for helping to increase awareness in Florida about global poverty.
