Lindsey Williams: Gardening for Impoverished Families
Your readers will be astonished by this young teen, who was named one of the "20 Teens Who Will Change the World" by Teen People. Raised in farm culture in St. Joseph, Missouri, Lindsey's seventh grade fertilizer project sparked a whole new purpose and life. While in high school, she developed a transverse irrigation system that won “Best Invention” at the Saint Louis Science Symposium. Her small-scale farm generated two and a half times as many vegetables as traditional methods, leaving her with far more crop than she would ever need. She decided to donate the crops to local food banks. This simple act of giving changed her life. She's been farming for the food banks ever since, and is actively helping people learn how to farm and feed themselves. Help your readers see for themselves that the simple act of giving, can not only help others, but change your life forever.
