Elham and Naz were interviewed on Vegan World Radio (90.1 FM KPFT Houston) on April 13 to talk about the Food for Life program running every Sunday in Houston. They talked about the need to provide nutritional meals to the ecnomically disadvantaged youth of Houston and how people can help out.
Take a listen to the interview:

Of course its an honor to be selected as a receipient of this award. But, more so than it highlighting the efforts of one person, I believe that the award really highlights the efforts of the entire Be the Cause community. The volunteers that participate in our many projects quietly and at many times without recognition slowly shape the well-being of our community. It is easy to pin my face as the poster child of these efforts because maybe I helped start it all, but in reality, these days, its the silent and yet dedicated force of all the countless volunteers that makes the benefit to the community really happen.
The Orange County Human Relations has been doing amazing work for decades to bring people together. To be recognized as part of their heritage is a true honor.
