• I am the founder and President of a 501(c)(3) non-profit non-governmental organization (NGO) A Spring of Hope (www.aspringofhope.org) which provides schools in sub-Saharan Africa with sustainable water sources for drinking, sanitation, irrigation, and food preparation to improve health conditions, combat poverty, promote education and create self-sustainability within each of its partner schools. I have shaped the organization’s mission and vision along with our board members.• Since 2007, I have forged strategic partnerships with the Rotary International and on-site nonprofits, Seeds of Light, Food and Trees for Africa, and the Organization for the Good Life of the Marginalized. As of June 2011, ASOH has drilled 7 wells in Uganda and 13 wells in South Africa. I have extensive experience working with local partners in carrying out a single project (construction) and ensuring sustainable change (maintenance, education, gardening programs). • ASOH was featured by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof on his social networking sites and mentioned by him in a national interview for Teen Ink. It has also been featured in the Miami Herald, the Penn Current, All Business, The Foundation Center• ASOH received a $100,000 grant from JP Morgan Chase Foundation in the summer of 2010.
