Marielle of Long Island, NY

For the past several years I have been a volunteer with the Special Olymipics Golf Team at Harbor Links in Port Washington and also the Challenger Athletics on Long Island. Both relate to helping children with special needs in my favorite sports of Golf and Tennis. I realize that I have been given many advantages in life and have the support of my family. This has motivated me to help others. I love working with and helping children. Joining Project Nyame will give me the opportunity to help those in need, who are less fortunate, all with a caring heart and mind. I am also a member of the Manhasset Junior Coalition. In my spare time I also tutor twin 9 year olds.
