I chat with a remarkable young woman who along with friends at her high school started a project to ship books and computers to an under resourced community in Zambia.\xa0 Fast forward to 2024 20 years later and Julie-Anne Savarit-Cosenza, Co-founder & Executive Director, African Education Program is now running a program that serves over 4000 children youth and women.\xa0 It\u2019s an inspiring story making a dream become reality.
