I am so excited to announce a partnership with Raising a scholar: https://raisingascholar.org/.

Her educational opportunities were limited due to her family’s lack of financial stability and the government’s inability to provide quality educational resources. When she moved here she found a colossal difference in the quality of education. She has been able to research the issue of educational inequality and “Raising a Scholar” is her way of combating it.

She has the following opportunities for anyone to be involved with:
