Destined to attend the Inauguration and the Inaugural ball through a Youth Leadership Organization, Deja Nell came
up with a unique fundraising idea to pay for her tuition. She created a cookbook just for kids!
"Kids in the Kitchen" features 150 fun and creative recipes and
sells for $15.00. Deja's goal is to save one copy to present to Malia and Sasha Obama "to cook a meal
with them in the White House kitchen!"
Deja's
efforts were highlighted in an article in her local paper, The Potomac News and most recently, on
News Channel 8! View the link below or on the right:

for Kids who also featured her story! Click on link below for the full article:

website. Check it out by clicking on the link below:
