I wrote fundraising letters to individuals and corporations on behalf of the Robert and Mary Anderson Charitable Organization, a small non-profit that provides rice, clothing, and computers, as well as medical assistance and educational scholarships to needy individuals and organizations in Liberia. I also submitted applications that resulted in a “Point of Light” recognition for the organization and a YWCA of Greater Richmond “Outstanding Woman” award for the founder.

In Summer 2008, I taught a creative writing workshop to fourth and fifth grade students at the Peter Paul Development Center. The outreach and community center serves children from an inner-city Richmond community that is one of the ten poorest in the nation. The stories and artwork created in her workshop were collected into a journal for the children and their families. Please click on image to view sample pages from the journal.
