Hello, my name is Scekem Wells. I am an eighth grader from LREI, a school in the Greenwich Village. My social justice group focuses on Poverty, however we chose specifically to focus on homelessness. My group is made up of five students. I chose to do poverty for social justice because it makes me think about the less fortunate, and it also makes me grateful that I have a home and food and clean water.
