Our Projects
My Inspirational Teacher
2020Our inaugural project celebrated the profound impact teachers have on students' lives. We organized an essay competition inviting students to share stories about teachers who inspired them. The winning essays were compiled and published, giving voice to the transformative power of education. The best essay received a prize of NPR 50,000, recognizing excellence in storytelling and the deep student-teacher connections that shape futures.
