Dalayna and her Aunt Desta were talking about how COVID-19 was affecting kids in other countries. Desta reached out to Tiffany, her friend in Italy who is an English teacher, and together we were able to get around 50 teens on our first Zoom call. After that, we continued to do the calls and we kept growing!

Action Statement: The purpose of our programs is to create a safe environment to bridge the educational activism gap.
