My name is Angela Maloney and I'm a senior at Ledyard High School. This summer I lived in rural Paraguay, volunteering with Amigos de las Americas and PLAN International. I lead community service projects to prevent deforestation, promote fuel efficient stoves, and improve nutrition. I worked closely with local youth to develop leadership and plant seeds for lasting change.

The Key Club at my school has been collecting toothbrushes from teachers and students all this week. So far, we have collected about $30 (to purchase toothbrushes) and 20 toothbrushes. I'm going to bring all of the donations to Paraguay and use them to teach children about dental hygiene as part of my project.
