BRANDON KIMBLE - Seeds of Hope Honoree

Brandon Kimble's path was hard but with his mother’s strong support, won a full academic scholarship to Ohio State University. When Hurricane Katrina blew him to Houston, ending his Teach for America stint in New Orleans, he helped create a charter school for evacuees. As HISD's 2010 Secondary Teacher of the Year, Brandon comments, “Teaching is doing whatever it takes to get students excited about learning and eliciting those ‘a-ha’ moments. Every child has his or her own gifts."

RESULTS, Inc. is an international, grassroots citizen's advocacy organization whose purpose is to create the political will to end hunger and the worst aspects of poverty. RESULTS Educational Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization, focuses on making an impact in these same areas through training and education. The two nonprofits work together to accomplish these goals through research, education and training, public events, media coverage and advocacy. Our research analyzes U.S. spending on hunger and poverty at home and abroad and seeks out sustainable effective remedies.Our campaigns focus attention on these solutions and support legislators in making them national priorities. We combine effective non-partisan lobbying and powerful education through persistent media coverage and public events. These efforts have shifted billions of dollars into cost-effective programs that have saved millions of lives and helped countless people to rise out of poverty. Through the RESULTS network of training and support, ordinary citizens use their democratic power to create a world of sufficiency and justice for all.RESULTS / RESULTS Educational Fund750 First Street NE Suite 1040Washington, DC 20002(moving 9/30/2011-10/3/2011 to: 1730 Rhode Island Ave, NW Suite 400 Washington, DC 20036)202.783-7100 (National Office)713.665.7866 ( Houston Global Volunteers)832.971.7533 (Houston Domestic Volunteers)Invitation design by Unleaded Communications - ulcomm.comPrinting donated by Premium Direct - getpremiumdirect.com
