Digital Diplomacy Award

Hi all,
    A while ago I posted information about a website that was created by 
three students addressing the problem of world hunger.  It is called 'An End 
to World Hunger: Hope for the Future' and can be found at: 

http://library.advanced.org/C002291.
 
Some of you visited the site and left comments.  I am very proud to announce 
that this site was recently named The Digital Diplomacy Award winner by the 
US Department of State.  The students are from England, Hong Kong and US and 
I acted as one of the student coaches on the project.  They each receive a 
$2,000 scholarship and $500 for their school.  The site will be linked to the 
State Dept. site in the future and our team will meet in Washington for an 
awards ceremony on Jan. 8th. The project was created in conjunction with the 
ThinkQuest program.  (www.thinkquest.org) I see the creation of websites such 
as these as another way that students can provide service by informing the 
public about pertinent human issues.

Thanks to all of you who took time to look at the site.  I just wanted to 
share our news with you.
