We would like to build a sustainable school facility in each community, provide training to local teachers and supply children with a sufficient amount of educational supplies.

It's very hard for children to do well in school if they don't have highly qualified teachers.

This is very vital. We need to get our children back and forth to school. This is a community that walks, believe it or not, and we need to make those sidewalks safe.

Minority teachers act as cultural interpreters for the entire school community. As you increase the number of diverse staff members, you increase the cultural competency of all staff and students, if they are willing to learn from each other.

We're going to be working with a community committee, a committee of people from the school district, teachers, support staff, all of them will collaborate to look through the applications, then we will umm whittle it down to a group of 6 we hope sometime toward the end of September.

This is what I want to do after I graduate.
