At its core, education breaks poverty cycles. It offers the chance for a fair shot, for justice to prevail, and for creative passions like being an artist to come to fruition. I would not be creating art full-time had I not had the opportunity to graduate from both high school and college. I want to give the same chance I received to girls across the globe.

Although Village Schools International is a Christian organization, students are not required to convert to receive scholarships. The girls receiving scholarships come from many faith backgrounds and are never discriminated against for their beliefs. VSI believes education is a form of justice and should be provided to students regardless of their faith background.

Thank you for honoring my artwork, my poetry, and, in turn, my creative heart. Thank you for being a part of change!

All my love, Andrea
