Sophia of Long Island, NY

I am a motivated student who is a doer! I created a club this year at Friends Academy related to Mental Health for my peers and am in the process of working on my Silver Award for the Girl Scouts of America. Since I was about 10, I’ve created businesses from the ground up ranging from sewing my own fashion line and hosting a fundraiser to benefit the Vanderpump Dog Rescue to a soap business “Pink Roses Co,”. I am a cross country runner and will be joining the Friends Academy Variety Golf team in the fall. I am an avid dancer since 2 years old and this year have begun Pointe Ballet. I am also a volunteer with Challenger Athletics on Long Island.

Joining Project Nyame will give me the opportunity to help those in need, who are less fortunate, all with a caring heart and mind.
