Hello! I am a Political Affairs Intern at The Borgen Project because I came from a place where my family struggled for most of my life, and with the help of opportunities and good people along the way, I am now able to achieve things I never believed I could. Although many of us struggle during hard times, it is still not close to what others face in third-world countries on a day-to-day basis. People are living on less than $1 a day, and your pennies, nickels, and quarters can give someone something they did not have yesterday. This freedom and privilege drive me to advocate for a U.S. foreign policy that is more understanding of those in need. So, if you have a few pennies lying around, you can donate right here on this page. Thank you for taking a step toward making poverty no longer a reality.
