In the late afternoon, 15-year-old Saanya Hasan Ali can often be found in her comfortable family room. She is cutting, drawing, gluing and folding, surrounded by a colorful chaos of paper, rubber stamps, buttons, and ribbons (带). "I just love arts and crafts (手工艺)," says Saanya. During the past six years, Saanya has raised $26,000 through the sale of her cards to help children and families in need.
"My mother received an e-mail from Pennies for Education and Health (PEH) organization. They were raising money for children in India to be able to go to school," explains Saanya, who was nine years old at the time. Her mother, Salma, offered to donate $75 in Saanya's name. Saanya made cards to sell at a family wedding that summer. To her own surprise, she earned $600, enough to send eight children to school for the year. "I kept on making cards, and the following summer I was able to help support the kids for another year,"" explains Saanya. Saanya acknowledges that her project has helped her to see the world through different eyes. "Now that I am in high school, I would also like to inspire other kids to do their own projects. Making cards is my small effort," she says. "If everyone does their small part, it can grow into something beyond your expectations."
