Today we were in Little Rock and we learned about public service through the Cliton School of Public Service and the ways we can make a difference. Next we went to Heifer International Headquarters and learned about hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation. The neat thing about Heifer International is it provides people with animals that they raise. Each family is then expected to pass on the gift by givine one or more of its animal's offspring to another family in need. Since 1944 Heifer has helped over 4 million families in 125 countries.

We ended the day at William J. Clinton Presidential Libary. It was really very interesting because we got to see the exact replica of "The Oval Office," and a ton of presidential memorabilia. It was a great view of an important time in our history. Now we are in Memphis, Tennessee and it's raining. We are in for the night and are ready for a long day tommorrow - we're going to see the Slave Haven underground Railroad Museum and the National Civil Rights Museum.
