“I was told I was too young, it’s too hard, too expensive and too ambitious of me to accomplish this But I Didn’t Listen and I Did It.”

Zoe Valdez, a 14-year-old student, has raised over $20,000.00 to build an education pavilion for her school. She decided to take on this project to facilitate continuous learning among students affected by the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. The pavilion was built to accommodate 250 students from Kindergarten to 12th grade. Having observed that most of the students were struggling with different levels of anxiety and stress, she met contractors and business owners to raise funds, donate resources and invest their time in ensuring the project’s success. The pavilion will enhance outdoor learning, making the students physically and mentally strong.
