"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Passion and Calling
Hunger and Clean Water Awareness
Everyone deserves the chance to succede in life, but many people are held back from opportunities because they do not have access to clean water and food to eat. By helping to provide these basic needs I feel that people will have a better chance at making a difference in their life, community, and even the world.

Education and Schooling
Children are the future of the world. Many children are held from going to school because of gender restrictions, war/terrorists, inability to pay attention due to hunger, or needing to work and maintain their family.
Disaster Response
We cannot control the weather and the destruction it brings, but we can control our response and aid. It is important to respond quickly and provide as much help as possible in the efforts to restore the affected people and area.
