OWL:
What inspired you to
do what you do?
JOSHUA: My grandmother gave
me $20 to spend however I liked.
While riding in the car I spotted
a homeless man, and I knew I
needed to give him something to
make his day better. My mother
suggested that I buy the man a
meal, but I insisted on giving him
the money. Soon after, I saw a
Feed The Children commercial on
TV and realized that my purpose
in life was to help those suffering
from hunger.
Joshua's Heart Foundation has over
10,000 youth volunteers working
hard to end world hunger.

I'm

side.
