America's Most Encouraging Teenagers

The 1>0 girls earned the top prize of $5000 and the title of America's Most Encouraging Teens from The Encouragement Foundation. The girls were recognized for their outstanding example of service, showing the world that teenagers can make a difference.

The Encouragement Foundation sent a team to travel seven days to 14 major American cities, stretching from San Francisco to New York, to seek out and share the stories of teenagers who are striving to make a difference in their schools, communities and the world.

The trip began on September 5th in San Francisco and concluded September 12th, the National Day of Encouragement, in a celebratory event in New York City. This event commemorated the National Day of Encouragement and honored the organizations that partnered with 7 Days Across America. The event also included the premiere of One Drop, a personal documentary created by Wishing Well: Water for the World, about the international water crisis.

7 Days across America recognized 1>0, and others from around the United States, for their "great encouragement to the world". Check out http://www.7daysacrossamerica.com/

The 1>0 girls were honored to share the stage with such extraordinary teens. The 7 Days Across America Campaign proved, once again, that 1 person can make a difference in the lives of so many people.

"To the world you may be one person, but to that one person YOU may be the world."
