In his beautiful video for Empowerment International (EI), Brad Allgood, shows how a girl who considered herself "timid" is now the president of EI's mountain biking club and the first member in her family to graduate high school. Anielka never expected herself to finish school, let alone dream of college. But she is well on her way.

 

In fact, not only is she building her own future but also helping many other children with theirs. She is a tutor in EI's after-school tutoring program where she helps her neighborhood children with their studies. And she also wins biking races as her pastime.

 

Like she says in the video, "We do not always have solutions ourselves." Anielka took EI's help and is now spreading the message. As you see her confidently teaching other children and speaking about her hopes, you realize that Anielka has found her new world - one where she is  confident, expressive and without fear.

 

EI is proud to have a kid like her and we hope you as an EI supporter  are proud of her too!.
