What Girls are saying

“Thanks to your support, in the two weeks I was here I learned three coding languages, made my own website, a self-portrait, talked to an astronaut in the ISS, and had so much fun. Without your support, I would not be here learning these amazing coding languages or making friends. I cannot thank you enough for one of the best experiences of my life.”
