Roberto: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! In Alimenta la Solidaridad, for seven years, we have been working to contribute to the food security, in the midst of a Complex Humanitarian Emergency, of thousands of children from the most vulnerable communities in 12 states of Venezuela. This work has been possible thanks to the volunteer work of 789 volunteer mothers and community organization. We have also focused on female empowerment through the training of women in leadership, education, among other topics.
Max: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! We are trying to seed early stage innovations that are commercially relevant and beneficial to NASA. We believe that this will allow the benefits of space technology to have the broadest possible impact on people and the economy.
Maria: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Early literacy is an essential part of a child’s overall development, but many families live in book deserts or do not have books at home. Book ownership should be a right, not a privilege. As Books In Homes USA's executive director, I work to serve children living in under-resourced communities, in literacy and beyond. The charity's vision is for every child to create their own home library with personally selected brand-new books to keep and enjoy.
