MFS eighth grader embarks on project to encourage Manthani youth
It was a seventh-grade project that set the ball in motion for 13-year-old Moorestown Friends School student Sreehita Hajeebu. Last year, Hajeebu and her fellow seventh graders were tasked with tackling solutions to United Nations Development Goals. Hajeebu’s group took a look at “Global Hunger” using Bangladesh as the country they focused their project around.
Hajeebu said she was taken aback by the statistics. The project made her want to take her solutions from theory to reality. Hajeebu travelled to a rural part of India last summer to put her efforts into practice, and she’s embarking on an 18-month project to connect MFS students with children on the other side of the world.
