Ben W-I's Hamsa Fund Campaign 2020

Hello! It's me, Ben, and welcome to my page! As you may know, I am part of the Hamsa Fund, an East Bay Jewish teen philanthropy group based in the Bay Area. I came back to the Hamsa Fund this year for the 3rd time because I really have created a strong connection to the Hamsa Fund, and the moments and lessons I've learned during my experience here keep bringing me back.

This year, we are focusing on the equal opportunity to an adequate education for the less fortunate. As a teen in the East Bay, I am so lucky with a great education at my high school, and it pains me to see other people my age not having access to what I have. In order to make an impact in this issue, my peers and I have decided to dedicate ourselves to raising money for organizations that work to resolve this problem.

The 2019-2020 Hamsa Fund's mission is to improve access to education by funding organizations that promote equality and health for youth so that everyone has the same opportunity to succeed.

Especially in our current times, education is a vital tool in order to pave the path to success. And currently, it is much harder to access for many less fortunate juveniles. An impact is greatly needed in order to help those in need, and that is why I am donating $100 of my own money that I have earned through babysitting to this cause. I am also asking you to please make an impact, and make a donation anywhere between $18-$240 as you seem fit. I hope you are inspired to change the lives of kids and teens just like me, and make a contribution. I hope this message finds you well, and stay safe during these tough times! Thank you!
