In high school, I went to Mali, West Africa and lived in an indigenous village for two weeks to help build a school. Mali is one of the poorest undeveloped countries in the world and the literacy rate is unbelievably low. I like knowing that I helped both children and adults learn to read and write which will help not only this small village, but Mali as a whole.

Why are you participating?

Sometimes we are too quick to judge people by the external things that we see. This project allows for us to see the good in the world and to breathe hope back into humanity.

I work hard in my job as a teacher of psychology to encourage within my students feelings of empathy and respect for all individuals. I also spend time talking with anyone who comes my way about the hard times they may be facing and I try to help them gain new insights about their situations so that they can begin to move forward once again in their lives. I have a passion for teaching about the struggles of women worldwide and in planning educational and cultural events that honor women everywhere.

Why are you participating?

I am participating because I love the theme of this project and its commitment to fostering understanding among individuals with varying identities. Anything that works to bring people together in joyful ways, as this project does, is great in my book.

I volunteer at the Hanover Theatre, I'm a member of the family health center board of directors, an anchor at the WCCTV13 local channel and I volunteer at a local restaurant called Sol Of Mexico. I guess my point is volunteer and do good things to change our world.

Why are you participating?

We are living a different life in this generation, we have to accept people with open mind, sexuality, race, religion and with different point of view. Love yourself cuz nobody knows who u really are! Don't hide yourself from yourself!!!
