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.

Last night I sold refreshments at the first Cupcakes (and Causes) meeting. I am hoping to do more small fundraisers and I will keep you posted about the dates and times of these events. Also, I would like to thank the Ledyard Lions Club for the generous donation I received today.
