Who Started this Project?Hello! Our names are Jenna Agnone, Luiza Barbosa, Rubia Fernandes, Nischal Khatri, and Tien Ngo. We would like to introduce ourselves and explain why we chose to create this website. Our founders: Luiza and Rubia, choose to create this project based off of their own experiences. Luiza, Rubia, Nischal, and Tien have all taken part in the English Language Learners program at some point in their lives. They know how hard it is when you are new to an area and don't know the language. When it comes to simple tasks in the American society, it can be intimidating to ask for help, which is why we have decided to work on this project who's current goal is to create educational videos. Together we work to expand this wonderful program.

KIND Schools Challenge
The EL Give Back Program (renamed after the end of the competition) became the 2018 top 10 finalists for the KIND Schools Challenge, a partnership between the KIND Foundation and the Making Caring Common project at Harvard university. We received a $400 grant from the foundation which was used to buy new camera and editing equipment. Luiza, Jenna, and Rubia worked very hard on this project and became the winners of the 2018 KIND Challenge. They each won $1000 for their work in making the world a kinder place.
