It's amazing and there is also a teen workshop at 1:00.
Students, there are many ways for you to get involved (whether you can make it here or not):
1. Choose a book you would like to have on your own deserted island, look over DISCO's wish list and ask someone to partner with you in donating to their library ($100 donation)
2. Attend a student workshop, open and free to ages 6-18 (check DISCO's website for a full schedule)
3. Submit your own writing by finishing this sentence,
*Food is....
(submit to help@desertislandsupplyco.com)
*By submitting , you give DISCO the right to publish your work in poster/book form.
