I have always been interested helping girls. My mom works for the United Nations and has many connection to various nonprofits across the globe. When I was in 6th grade, my mom introduced me to Girl Up. I went to the website:

Between 6th and 7th grade I was contacted by Professor Iain Guest, a friend of my moms. He challenged me to raise $600 to provide sewing machines for women in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

By using the website:www.firstgiving.comI was able to fundraise for the cause!
