He wanted more vegetables for the children and now it looks like his daughter will be helping to carry out his wish for the entire Washington D.C. area.
Sasha Obama, Barack’s youngest daughter, is attending Sidwell Friends School in D.C. where part of the children’s education is to teach them about helping those less fortunate.
One such program is making soup for Martha’s Table, which according to their website, is designed to “help at-risk children, youth, families and individuals in our community improve their lives by providing educational programs, food, clothing, and enrichment opportunities.”
Sasha will be bringing fresh veggies to school which will be used to make soup that will be delivered to Martha’s Table.
From the Sidwell Friends website:
Each Wednesday, children bring a vegetable from home as their contribution to the makings of a 50 lb. pot of soup. Classes take turns collecting and cutting the vegetables, which are then delivered to Martha’s Table by a parent volunteer. The children are reminded to bring their Wednesday vegetable by painting a magnetic tile to take home to place on their refrigerators.
