Sancia Paul is a grade 6 learner at Elkanah House . She has a community project and has decided to raise funds for or collect 15000 packs of sanitary pads for distribution to underprivileged girls. She reached out to us to tell us about it so we thought we’d get her in studio.

“My teacher told us ‘if you think you’re too small to make a difference try sleeping with a mosquito’.”

With the generous help of the Smile FM family it looks like we might be able to help make a big difference to her mission.

UPDATE – A friend of the show helps us take Sancia’s goal above and beyond hope

A day after we had Sancia in studio, one of Ryan’s friends heard the story and got involved. With Ian’s help Sancia is going above and beyond what she wanted:

If you would like to get involved email Sancia’s mom Cami Paul – camipaul24@icloud.com.
