Jamie Blair invited a group of friends from Mt. Lebanon High School to dinner Monday night. The menu was a bit unusual for teens in this comfortable South neighborhood: vegetarian instant noodles and water. Jamie, 18, and friends are taking part in a social experiment sponsored by the high school's Emergency Club. The club's mission is to increase awareness of social justice and humanitarian aid issues around the world.
The dinner is part of the club's latest project, called $2-a-Day and seeks to educate the teenagers about poverty. Nicco Pandolfi, 18, a senior, came up with the idea. "We took the statistic that says half of the world's population lives on less than $2-a-day and went from there."
