Follow-up to article about teen who made a difference in Darfur
Thursday, January 15, 2009 by Janet.
I wrote this article last year for The Charlotte Observer about Hannah Heidenreich and her “Sabres Stand Against Indifference” movement. This teen is passionate about bringing attention to the atrocities occurring in Darfur and spent some time in the African country this past summer. Heidenreich’s trip was sponsored by Charlotte’s Echo Foundation. She, along with 11 others, have raised $20,000 to help equip a Rwandan school. Very cool. Very inspiring.
To learn more about Hannah and The Echo Foundation, read Karen Garloch’s follow-up article from January 13, 2009, here.
