We had students from all over the U.S.- California, New York, Maryland, Wisconsin- just to name a few. Together with our wonderful sponsors, we had a weekend full of inspiration and education as we learned some of the best ways we can join together and fight poverty in our own communities and around the world. Soon, we'll have pictures up on our site from the weekend.
