Two students with Waco ties, Morgan Cunningham and Justin Kralleman, will join Grammy award-winning artist Shakira (pictured at right) and more than 50 other students selected from around the country at a 22 press conference today in Washington, D.C., for the Global Campaign for Education’s Action Week.

Cunningham is a student at Baylor University. Kralleman is a Waco native and student at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky. The press conference is at noon.

Here’s more information about the event, from an e-mail press release:

Seeking to raise awareness for the bipartisan Education for All Act of 2007 (EFA) with US leaders, he/she joins with GCE’s coalition in 120 countries to call on government leaders to support a basic education for all children, including the 72 million young children and 226 million older youths internationally who are out of school.

GCE’s Action Week will take place from April 21-27 and will also include the “World’s Biggest Lesson” on April 23, when millions of children worldwide will participate in the an attempt to break the world record for the largest lesson ever through learning and teaching a curriculum about the denial of quality education to tens of millions of poor children.

I am the person mentioned in this article and I am not a student at Baylor, I attend Texas Tech University.. and actually, Justin is not a native of Waco, He’s from St. Louis. Get your facts straight, please.
