This is an incredible charity focused on providing support for children from low-income backgrounds to engage in organized sports.At KidSport we support children from low-income backgrounds in organized sports. When I worked there, we were in a tough financial time and could not help all the families in need. To decrease the financial burden on the families, I collaborated with sport organizations and other fee assistance programs. I also worked with my director to develop an application system where the families would not be compromised by starting a program with insufficient funding. When supporting these families, I learned to moderate discussion with frustrated people in a way that is honest, understanding, and constructive. After my summer job, I continue to be involved by creating the Kids for Kids volunteer program. We empower secondary students to be leaders of active and inclusive schools by helping them plan dodgeball tournaments, fundraisers, and charity drives for KidSport. This has taught me how to guide others to develop leadership skills by creating an empowering and collaborative environment.This experience underscores my unwavering commitment to KidSport's mission and showcases my role in fortifying its initiatives, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to experience the transformative power of organized sports, irrespective of their financial background.

I independently taught 1.5 hour classes at two schools, with over 40 students per class. Raised in the culturally diverse environments of Denmark and Canada, I sought an immersive experience to understand and compare cultural norms, language, and socio-economic disparities. Despite my stable education, the contrast with my parents' childhoods, marked by war and poverty, motivated me to explore life in the small rural community in Bangladesh from where my father originates.After high school, this sparked my interest to experience life in the small rural community in Bangladesh that my father is originally from. This drove me to connect with a rural Bengali elementary school principal to volunteer teaching English. During my experience, I saw how incredibly grateful the students were for the opportunity to attend school, something that I had taken for granted. I was disheartened to learn that only two of them would receive funding to be able to pursue post-secondary education. However, despite this they were deeply dedicated to the comparatively limited education opportunities that they have. The students were initially nervous to talk to me because I was a foreigner. However, by being approachable and supportive I was able to overcome their apprehension. As I earned their trust, they confided in me about their troubles and daily experiences - their father’s rickshaw breaking down, fights at home because of hunger, and their aspirations of seeing Beedesh (the Western world).This experience has not only deepened my cultural awareness but has also instilled values of gratitude, humility, and compassion. It emphasizes the transformative power of education and the importance of empathy in bridging cultural barriers. Show less
