Posted on Sunday, May 30th 2010   

Helena Zhang is one of the twelve high school students who will be visiting and working in Lesotho summer 2011 under the "Reach Lesotho" program.
Her bio reads: "I am a grade 11 student at Centennial C.V.I. I was born in Mainland China and immigrated to Canada when I was seven years old. I am adamantly ardent about the economic sustainability of developing countries and am especially zealous about international business. I am not afraid to be an audacious dreamer. I firmly believe in the power of a team and that it doesn’t take a myriad of people to change the world for the better. Furthermore, I feel that emphasizing the focus of social responsibility among youths is exceptionally important. I am an enthusiast of visual art, music, stamp collecting, and Golden Retrievers! Additionally, I love the company of my family and friends, curling, shortbread cookies, and Skittles!"
She took part in the Rotary Forest and Earth Day Event last month and was thrilled being able to contribute together with more tha 100 other like-minded students.
