The press I’ve gotten over the past year, through blogs, videos or traditional media has been around a variety of campaigns that I ran, including Cause It’s My Birthday, my Kiva Fellowship or in general my life as a global volunteer, humanitarian or goals around cause-filled living. It’s an honor to be recognized for the work I do in raising awareness about causes and I strive every day to inspire others to discover ways that they too can become involved in cause, nonprofits and philanthropy.
