Paul Tergat, UN World Food Programme Ambassador

IFE Fellows Kentrell and Cashea hosted Paul Tergat at Hyde Public Charter School on 11/15/2005. Mr. Tergat, winner of the NYC Marathon and world record holder for the marathon, benefitted from the United Nations World Food Programme when he was growing up in Kenya. He will be hosted by fellows Erwin at Washington International School and Pablo at Sidwell Friends School. National Public Radio picked up the story.

As IFE Fellows Kentrell, Cashea, Erwin and Pablo are among twenty two students from across the Washington area working together to better understand the challenges faced locally and internationally on poverty and what schools can do to respond.
