Giving back

Back in 2017, I felt a strong urge to give back. I decided to lead a fundraiser for girls in my beloved Peru.

The Chicuchas Wasi School for Girls is a school where girls are given a free education. They were provided lunch, but for most of them, that was the only meal they would get all day.

My goal was to donate and raise money to provide two nutritious, hot meals to 110 girls for the entire year to nourish them during their journey to a better education.

Visiting these girls, getting to know them, but best of all, getting to return a year later to give them all of the money I raised was the most fulfilling leadership experience of my life.

I continue to raise money for The Chicuchas Wasi School for Girls. To donate please visit Cuscogirls.com
