Worcester Wednesday Supports Harry K Foundation

4/11/2025

Berlin, MD – On Worcester Wednesday, March 26, Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) collected donations to support the Harry K Foundation.

Each month, WPS students submit the names of foundations to be supported in that month’s Worcester Wednesday. For March, both 10^th grader Gabriella Damouni and 6^th grader Serena Jaoude submitted the name of the Harry K Foundation. In exchange for a $5 donation to the foundation, students and faculty were allowed to dress casually, and approximately $2,300 was raised.

Childhood hunger is a persistent yet often hidden issue that adversely impacts various aspects of children’s health. These detrimental consequences of hunger can alter a child’s brain and body development, influencing their thinking, learning, and behavior. The Harry K Foundation, led by Harry Keswani, is exploring innovative strategies to address the problem of childhood hunger.
