On Thursday night, I spoke with Congressman Jim Himes of Connecticut regarding the importance of ONE on the a national and global stage.
The congressman gladly accepted a ONE band on behalf of SHU and proudly wore it for the remainder of his stay. Congressman Himes was at Sacred Heart in commemoration of Constitution Day, and lectured on the “Significance of the US Constitution: The View from a Freshman Congressman.”

This past weekend, longtime ONE member and volunteer Michelle Deegan took part in a Walk for Hunger in her home state of Connecticut. Michelle and some fellow ONE members wore ONE shirts to create a presence in their community to help raise awareness of ONE and the world’s poorest people.
By using our voices and incorporating ONE in local events, we are building a movement of Americans that want our country to fight global disease and world wide hunger. Wearing a ONE shirt or a ONE band is a small and easy way to help make a big difference in the world! Way to go Michelle!
