For the past few months, she has been putting together a project that will provide literacy and technology resources for underprivileged schools in the Valparaíso region. For their first school, this means renovating an unused room, and buying books and computers for it to make it into a library.

The project is called Scholars for Schools. You can read more about it on Hannah’s blog, here.

And of course he manages to involve a couple pranks in the story. Check it out. (I have no idea why it’s in the careers section, or what that means).
