On Wednesday, a few of us from the program went to the National Press Club for one of their luncheons featuring Share Our Strength, an organization that fights to end child hunger. Although we didn’t get to partake in the food at the luncheon, we did have a good view of the guest speaker, Jeff Bridges (aka “The Dude”). He spoke about the importance of fighting child hunger, and the goal of ending child hunger by 2015. Mr. Bridges was extremely passionate and he even got emotional at times. One of his suggestions included giving more money to school programs to help feed hungry children.
After he spoke, he answered questions about his cause and also his movie career. When asked what the most important thing he has done as a “famous person”, tears came to his eyes and he struggled to say that this cause was.
Governor Martin O’Malley (MD) was in attendance, and Ayah and I were able to get a picture with him.
