Upon learning of the Do Something Grant, I knew instantly I wanted to apply and take advantage of this opportunity. I am very passionate about international development issues and challenges (especially those regarding the broad fields of health, education/awareness, and basic needs such as food safety and sanitation). I feel that I would be a valuable applicant for a grant due to my diverse skills, experiences, and achievements. I am involved with numerous leadership activities, such as being an Executive Member of the Journalists for Human Rights (JHR) at the University of Ottawa.
