2	6		WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
3	7		recognize Vanessa Novo on her participation and service in the
4	8		prestigious Global Leadership Opportunities Beyond Education
5	9		program; and
6	10		WHEREAS, Co-sponsored by Texas 4-H and Texas A&M
7	11		University, the Global Leadership Opportunities Beyond Education
8	12		program teaches youth about how agricultural systems affect
9	13		global hunger and food security and how to implement sustainable
10	14		systems to address gaps in food accessibility across
11	15		populations; and
12	16		WHEREAS, Vanessa is an eighth grader from Georgetown and
13	17		the treasurer of Liberty Hill 4-H and vice president of
14	18		Williamson County 4-H; she was accepted in the GLOBE program and
15	19		will travel with a group of students to the Texas A&M Soltis
16	20		Center in Costa Rica in June; and
17	21		WHEREAS, As part of the program, the students traveled to
18	22		Homestead Heritage in Waco and participated in a weekend activity
19	23		that replicated living conditions in a third-world country; the
20	24		students slept in yurts, fetched water from a well, and cooked
21	25		their meals outdoors to better understand the challenges faced by
22	26		people who live in the developing world; and
23	27		WHEREAS, A bright and capable student, Vanessa has
24	28		organized a canned food drive to be held at her school with
25	29		donations to be submitted in March, which is recognized as
26	30		National Agriculture Month; her service project, called "Cans
27	31		for Kids," encourages people to donate HEB-labeled cans marked
28	32		with the Texas Department of Agriculture's "Go Texan" logo; and
29	33		WHEREAS, Not only does Vanessa's project support
30	34		sustainable agriculture and bring awareness to hunger in her
31	35		community, it benefits Texas agricultural producers and the
32	36		Central Texas Food Bank, thereby combatting hunger among
33	37		children and youth, a demographic that constitutes 34 percent of
34	38		food bank clients; Vanessa is indeed deserving of special
35	39		recognition for her creativity and for her contributions to the
36	40		public good; now, therefore, be it
37	41		RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th

39	43		the Global Leadership Opportunities Beyond Education program and
40	44		extend to her best wishes for continued success in her education
41	45		and in all her future endeavors; and, be it further
42	46		RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
43	47		her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
