Maz Ahmad, BU Student part of Borgen Project

Good evening, My name is Maz Ahmad and I am a rising junior at Boston University studying International Relations. Currently I am a part of The Borgen Project, which is a non-profit organization that seeks to make global poverty reduction a political priority within the U.S. The main method to achieve our goals of reducing global poverty is through advocacy of important issues and mobilizing constituents to contact their representatives to pass poverty reduction legislation. As advocacy and education is one of our main methods for creating change, I was wondering if there was an opportunity to speak to the rotary about our non-profit organization. I would be happy to come in for an online meeting and educate your group about global poverty and how to contact your representatives to make a difference. The U.S is by far the most powerful nation in the world, and at The Borgen Project, we believe that it is our job to use our power to eradicate global poverty. We believe that the U.S. should prevent 25,000 children from dying each day, because the U.S. can prevent 25,000 children from dying each day. That is why we work hard for change. Let me know your thoughts on this, and I would be happy to give you more details about our organization if you like. Thank you for your time. Kind Regards Maz Ahmad
