A True Unsung Hero

Thanks to my friend and colleague Betsy Allen-Pennebaker for sending me this picture.  It's of the universally excellent Anna Matich receiving the Unsung Hero Award tonight at a Champlain College event. Anna is one of the students who went on the Zanzibar trip in January 2018, and then came back and formed TechDren.  She, Jackie Noborikawa and Abbey Barr started meeting weekly, raised thousands of dollars, and collected hundreds of computers to support elementary school students in Pemba, Zanzibar and further afield.  It's been such a pleasure to see her blossom into the extraordinary woman she is today.

This is what happens when Hoosiers start travelling . . .
