WGELA’s philanthropy event for Project Gaia was a huge success! Altogether we raised $5,400 from donations and the sale of scarves which will go to provide 105 clean stoves to women in Haiti and Brazil. The capstone of the event was a cook-off in which four teams competed against each other using Project Gaia’s clean stoves. Four delicious meals were created and judged by a panel made up of members of both the Nicholas School and Project Gaia. Our own leader, Josh Strauss, was the winner with his hot tomato salad with fried okra. He was cooking on behalf of the Nicholas School Student Council which won another stove to be donated to Project Gaia.
