Getting hit in the face with a pie is nerve-wracking, says Andrea Gallo, but she would do it all over again.

The second-year biology student is a volunteer with the Windsor chapter of Free the Children, a charity that works to inspire young people to develop as socially conscious global citizens. The group set up a station outside the CAW Student Centre Thursday, allowing donors to throw paper plates covered in whipped cream at targets – like Gallo.
“It’s worth it for the cause,” she said, citing its educational projects to free children from poverty and exploitation.
Thursday’s Pie Throw for Poverty was part of the organization’s Five Days of Freedom campaign, which concludes Friday at the CAW Student Centre.
“We’re just trying to get people involved,” Gallo said. She invites students, faculty and staff to check out Friday’s activities – outside the centre, weather permitting, otherwise in the Commons area.
