Hi I am a third year university Vietnamese student studying in France. I am not an artist whatsoever but I would love to use anything that I have access to in order to help people, even if they are thousands of miles away from where I am. 

Ana Sofia Ramos Herrera

Hello, my name is Ana Sofía Ramos Herrera. I am 15 years old, and I am a tenth-grade student in Colombia. I really enjoy helping others in my free time. To me, someone’s smile will always be more valuable than any amount of money. For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of studying International Relations and Diplomacy abroad, preferably in Europe or the United States. In the future, I hope to work at the United Nations and make a meaningful impact on the lives of people in my country and around the world. I also want to actively participate in NGOs and contribute to humanitarian projects, just as I currently do in my local community. I love cooking, reading, learning new things, listening to music, playing music, and spending time with my family, my pet, and my friends. 

Hi, I'm a student leader and artist from the Philippines. As someone who loves using design to connect with others, I volunteered to edit and make illustrations for social good. Through this project, I hope to use my artistic skills to bring bits of joy to children and help young artists feel inspired, supported, and celebrated through their own creations.

Rima E.

Hello! I'm Rima, a year 9 student in the UAE. I am passionate about this project because it conjoins a lot of my interests like crafting, drawing (traditionally and digitally), and helping in general, it is rare to find an inclusive project and I may be young but I think that is in some cases age may be indifferent to passion and curiosity, of course I don't know much when it's put in comparison to lots of adults, but I think being able to help even in the slightest will make me extremely happy, I do not originate from the UAE, I come from Sudan and most of my family refuged to different parts of the world after the war broke, I was lucky to have the privilege of a good and steady health and I cannot begin on how grateful I am for everything, I have big dreams and ambitions for the future but i want to make the best of what I can at the moment because it's really unknown what will happen in a few years, everything happens so suddenly!
