As a volunteer with CREANicaragua.org and una Amiga on the Advisory Board, I am helping to further CREA's mission of Empowering the Future and Building Stronger Communities. In rural Nicaragua, CREA inspires Nicaraguans to empower themselves and their communities by providing educational resources. I am a donor and a fundraiser but the ability to work directly with the students and community of CREA is the mission I feel the most strongly about. The education of students particularly girls is the key to a successful future.
