Amy Smith (Lomita, California) – Sponsorship & Donations Team since 2009.
I finally made it to Africa for the first time in 2008 for a safari and visited Tanzania and South Africa. I came to realize that education is lacking in many African countries, and for children of lower income families there may not be an opportunity for an education at all. I researched volunteer opportunities online and came across the School of St. Jude. I can barely fathom what Gemma and her team have accomplished in a short time, and I am glad to have the opportunity of assisting an organization that gives Tanzanian children a chance for a good education.
