My involvement with Hamomi started in third grade, where together with a group of friends, I managed to collect school and art supplies for the kids at Hamomi every year. Since sixth grade (2012), I've made annual trips to teach technology lessons and hand out donations. We also engaged in other STEM activities such as physics, biology and other sciences, delivering to Hamomi 20 low-cost 'microscopes' thanks to the generosity of Professor Manu Prakash of Stanford. Most recently, I was able to bring my friend Preston Bezos along, and together we were able to expand the curriculum and even hold a teacher training session to integrate technology into the classroom.
