Breaking the Bubble of Global Issues | Aaron Castelino | TEDxCarnageMagnetMS

Millions of people suffer from the effects of hunger and poverty everyday. In this talk, Aaron elaborates on global issues such hunger and poverty and how we can mitigate these problems in our world today. Hello! My name is Aaron Castelino, and I am an 8th grader at Carnage Middle School. In the midst of a global pandemic, we have seen job losses, resulting in hunger, poverty, unemployment, and many other issues. As a former president of a children’s parliament I am in, my team and I conducted a successful food drive in our local chapter in 2020. In my TEDx speech, I would like to elaborate more on how we can mitigate global concerns, specifically hunger. I placed first in my school’s Modern Woodmen Civic Oration Contest and was awarded as one of Wake County’s Spotlight Students of the Year in 5th grade. I also placed second in a regional impromptu public speaking contest which took place recently. In my free time, I like to play music (piano and violin), chess, and sports, and I am an avid historian and geographer. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
