What do Norman Borlaug, and the Cornwall Alliance Day of Prayer have in common?

A day.

March 25th is the birthday of Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Norman Borlaug. Dr. Borlaug worked to extend crop yields and relieve hunger and poverty around the world. In addition to the Nobel Peace Prize, he received The Presidential Medal of Freedom, Vannevar Bush Award, Public Welfare Medal, National Medal of Science, Congressional Gold Medal, and the Padma Vibhushan, India’s second highest civilian honor.

The Cornwall Alliance chose to hold its Day of Prayer on March 25 out of respect to the amazing man who did so much to improve the lives of the world’s poor.
