Canstruction visit at Brookfield place 11•16•15

On the sixteenth, my group and I went to see a art show called Canstruction. Canstruction is an art installation when many people make art or sculptures out of actual cans. When the installation is don’t, the people working there then donate the cans to city harvest. City Harvest is an organization that deals with hunger and food insecurity here in New York City. After City Harvest gets the cans, they give them away in a repack. A repack is where people volunteer to help but cans of food into bags and give them away to the people who need them. Because City Harvest has to get them to donate them, the people doing the project can’t use glue or hot glue. They can only use tape and cardboard. The cans have to be in perfect shape to be donated.

I am an eighth grader at LREI and this year my social justice project is on Hunger in NYC. I chose Hunger in NYC because Hunger is such a big problem in the world and in NYC. Hunger is important because so many people in NYC don't have enough to buy food for dinner or breakfast.
