The Providence Refugee Dream Center is a post resettlement refugee agency that greatly contributes to the enhancement of the cultural and community development in Rhode Island. During these unprecedented times when everyone is separated by the global pandemic, HS concentrators and DUG leaders, Ahjeetha Shankar and Samuel Orenstein, organized a global social media fundraiser to help this Center. They partnered up with a corporate organization that would match their fundraised amount by 200%. Consequently, they fundraised a grand total of $1,365 (surpassing the initial goal of $500.00)! Congratulations to Sam and Ahjeetha for such a fantastic initiative!
