Inspired by the poem, the students drew their own "magic doors," imagining the worlds that might exist beyond them. This book is the first of many stories to come, inspiring children to dream, create, and share their stories.

Working closely with village leaders, she has supported the development of a more self-sustaining community. The junior high school was completed in 2017, followed by the opening of the clinic in 2019. As part of this ongoing support, pencils were donated to the local elementary and junior high schools.
