Lauren Hauck is our first featured poet. We hope her poem will inspire you towards a greener world!
There is nothing more beautiful Than the world outside our door There is nothing more wonderful Than things obscured before. Take a look outside your door We are the future, we are the past But if we don’t preserve it Our world won’t last. Go green Go great You’ll know what I mean When you feel the difference That it makes going green.
Hometown: Los Angeles, California. What do you care about? “I care about environmental awareness, people in war-torn and poverty stricken countries. I believe that anyone can make a difference no matter what; we can’t give up hope that easily.” What do you want to do in the future? “I would like to travel to Africa and Asia and learn how I can help there. I have been given so much, and I believe I should pay it forward to all the people who don’t have as much as me.” “I don’t care who you are; if you’re poor, rich, tall, short, it doesn’t matter. Just tell someone what they can do to help. Not everyone is made to save the world, or spend a fortune in a foreign country…Plant a tree, tell someone about an event in the world, everyone can help in their own tiny way.”

Last weekend TGC performed as part of a children’s film festival held in Effingham, Illinois. They also took part in various workshops aimed at inspiring children to find solutions for the world issues laid out by the Millennium development goals.
It was an amazing event which included students from all around the country, including Celerity Charter school in South Central, Los Angeles.
The film festival was attended by two thousand people and was full of thought provoking student films.
