Help bring my mentee Meghan to New York and fulfill her dreams!

I first found out about Active Compassion Transforms through a friend who thought it would be a good volunteering opportunity for me. Having been a mentor previously, I thought this sounded like a great chance to be a mentor again as it had been a very rewarding experience before. The organization’s concept is very unique, allowing you to share your thoughts and guidance with a high school student on another continent via an online emailing system! Little did I know, that the young woman who would become my mentee is very unique herself. Meghan is an amazing, vibrant young girl living in South Africa with dreams of being a teacher, acting and making a difference in other young kids’ lives. I’ve gotten to know her over the past year and her lively spirit is apparent even through the internet. Despite the difficult circumstances surrounding her personal life, she is incredibly kind, smart (she was the valedictorian of her class!), and driven to excellence. I am constantly amazed at the wonderful attitude she has towards life and at the love she has for her family and others around her.

I believe this trip to New York will make a huge positive difference in Meghan’s life and allow her to fulfill her dreams of becoming a great teacher and educating the youth in her hometown to not only better themselves, but to dream bigger and brighter. Please help me achieve her goals by making a donation to help fund her trip here. Any amount will be very helpful (and tax-deductible!) and much appreciated!
