In the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, a group of bright young girls are looking to build and feed their community -- one quail egg at a time.
Dubbed the"Quail Guardians," a class of 6th graders at the Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy have been raising and selling quail eggs in their community, in a neighborhood where many residents have limited access to fresh food.
"So I knew that the school that I’m in is in a food desert, and the way I like to engage students is to look into the community for a problem and become problem solvers," Laura Pena, the school's STEM program specialist and instructional coach, told"Good Morning America." Fellow Quail Guardian Shavonta Nickles said the eggs have"good cholesterol and protein and it's also good for your heart and also for asthma."
A local resident and parent, Christina Mgbam, told"GMA" she is thankful for the food the girls provide.
