Writer's Workshop is a mentoring program that fosters a reading and writing interest in elementary and middle school students through lessons beyond the average classroom. We aim to create a network of passionate high school mentors dedicated to making a difference in their community by promoting a writing interest in students. We are primarily involved in changing and improving students’ attitude and vision of writing by help younger students develop their style by exploring the various writing genres and eventually helping them form their own.

"She Power" (Sewing, Hope & Empowerment-- Pakistani Outreach for Women's Educational Resources) was created (by myself and 2 friends) to raise money for training and educating young women in Pakistan who are poor and without a way to support themselves. The money is used to set up "Shelters of Hope" where the girls learn to sew (in order to make a living) and are also taught to read and write. If the girls are in dangerous home situations they are given shelter and protection. If they have been victims of abuse (rape,which is common, acid attacks, etc.) they are also given medical attention.
