She explained, “When I decided to create Inspiring Kids I knew that a lot of work was required to create a project that would really have an impact on a community, but I was sure that if I had the opportunity to create a project, it would be one that would challenge me, that would make me leave my area. of comfort and above all, one in which I could really help people.” She as a student teaching at the University of Costa Rica, provides free English classes to children from the community of María Luisa.
