What are you looking forward to in your future? I am really excited to be traveling this winter to India with my Global Citizenship program and expanding CFC into an integral part of Lehigh’s community. As well as hopefully winning the Patriot League in field hockey sometime in the future!
What is Caring for Cambodia and how did you get involved? I heard about Lehigh’s partnership with CFC during a retreat for the Global Citizenship program and after hearing about the incredible things the NGO does, I became involved and co-founded the club on campus. In addition, I spent this summer in Cambodia learning more about how CFC directly is involved in expanding education throughout the country and it was an amazing experience. CFC so far has had a supply drive and a chipotle fundraiser last semester where we raised a lot of money. This Wednesday (October 9th) at 7pm in Neville we have movie showing of the film Girl Rising. I would highly encourage more of Lehigh to get involved in CFC and maybe you could possibly go to Cambodia as well!
