Eastway Elementary in Durham bustled with chatter Wednesday morning as children played at the East Durham Children’s Initiative (EDCI) Science Technology Engineering Arts Math (STEAM) and Literacy Camp. Campers finished their morning instruction while also preparing to welcome a special guest joining them for lunch.

North Carolina First Lady Kristin Cooper visited EDCI’s STEAM and Literacy Camp during a tour of summer meal sites in Durham and Raleigh to highlight and learn from programs that combat food insecurity.

Since taking on the role of first lady, Cooper has focused on programs and initiatives that target adverse childhood experiences. In addition to visiting EDCI, Cooper also visited the Advance Community Health summer program, which provides lunch and educational services to children in Southeast Raleigh.
