| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize Vanessa Novo on her participation and service in the | ||
| prestigious Global Leadership Opportunities Beyond Education | ||
| program; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Co-sponsored by Texas 4-H and Texas A&M | ||
| University, the Global Leadership Opportunities Beyond Education | ||
| program teaches youth about how agricultural systems affect | ||
| global hunger and food security and how to implement sustainable | ||
| systems to address gaps in food accessibility across | ||
| populations; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Vanessa is an eighth grader from Georgetown and | ||
| the treasurer of Liberty Hill 4-H and vice president of | ||
| Williamson County 4-H; she was accepted in the GLOBE program and | ||
| will travel with a group of students to the Texas A&M Soltis | ||
| Center in Costa Rica in June; and | ||
| WHEREAS, As part of the program, the students traveled to | ||
| Homestead Heritage in Waco and participated in a weekend activity | ||
| that replicated living conditions in a third-world country; the | ||
| students slept in yurts, fetched water from a well, and cooked | ||
| their meals outdoors to better understand the challenges faced by | ||
| people who live in the developing world; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A bright and capable student, Vanessa has | ||
| organized a canned food drive to be held at her school with | ||
| donations to be submitted in March, which is recognized as | ||
| National Agriculture Month; her service project, called "Cans | ||
| for Kids," encourages people to donate HEB-labeled cans marked | ||
| with the Texas Department of Agriculture's "Go Texan" logo; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Not only does Vanessa's project support | ||
| sustainable agriculture and bring awareness to hunger in her | ||
| community, it benefits Texas agricultural producers and the | ||
| Central Texas Food Bank, thereby combatting hunger among | ||
| children and youth, a demographic that constitutes 34 percent of | ||
| food bank clients; Vanessa is indeed deserving of special | ||
| recognition for her creativity and for her contributions to the | ||
| public good; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend Vanessa Novo on her acceptance into | ||
| the Global Leadership Opportunities Beyond Education program and | ||
| extend to her best wishes for continued success in her education | ||
| and in all her future endeavors; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
