By and for students - From School 2 School: Our Kids Our Future, together with Campaign 2000, has spearheaded a project called "From School 2 School", which shows schools how to support the Make Poverty History initiative:  from doing "school wraps", to wearing white bands, to wrapping lockers in Make Poverty History barrier tape.  Joshua Liu, leader of Our Kids Our Future says “Our project revolves around our website at  http://www.school2school.net , which provides online toolkits/instructions on how to do a school wrap or purchase Make Poverty History resources.  We currently have schools across Canada interested in this initiative, specifically several in Toronto.  In addition to our own high school, we have already inspired 2 high schools in Toronto and 1 high school in New Brunswick [who ran] school events on October 17, 2005.  Many more are interested in running events in November.”  Read “It Starts in the Schools” by Jason Liu.
