Nadia’s Story

Nadia, 22, CO, Co-Captained a Spikeball Tournament Challenge that brought together 30 students and raised $225 for the Western Organization for People Living with HIV/AIDS. WOPLAH provides education, resources, and healthcare for children and families primarily throughout Western Kenya


Background & Impact

This experience taught me how to collaborate. This was the first time we hosted this event with another student organization and there were many decisions that we had to make together. Because this was a collaborative event there were certain things that we disagreed on throughout the planning process and last minute changes that had to be made and communicated. This Challenge improved my ability to communicate effectively and also set boundaries when it comes to group decision making.
