A junior at Marion Senior High School who commutes for a half-day to the Governor's School in Pulaski County, Hauver will represent Virginia on the tour. She was one of nearly 1,000 applicants from 50 states who identified a change they would like to make and wrote a paper on how they would make it.
Hauver's winning submission was a plan for reducing hunger in her community titled ``Hungry No More.''
She proposed that a local church hall be used as a soup kitchen to feed the estimated 300 people in her community in need of such assistance.
A soup kitchen volunteer herself, she suggested the kitchen be administered by Marion's multidenominational ministerial association and that donations of food be sought from restaurants, stores and farms. Staffing would be provided by business organizations and funding by church, civic and business groups.
The 50 selected EF Ambassadors will take a 10-day tour of Europe and the United States, starting in New York with visits to the United Nations and Ellis Island. Visits in Europe will include the Hague and International Court of Justice, the European Parliament and Council of Europe in Strasbourg, the Palais des Nations in Geneva, and then back to the United States with a visit to Washington, D.C. The trip will be the first 10 days in July.
