Accountant by day, Do Gooder by night. That’s National Life’s Heather Preis.
When she’s not crunching numbers, Heather is working to benefit the Shidaa African Cultural Project. The project was started by Heather and her partner, Jordan, who came to the United States from Ghana, West Africa. The mission of Shidaa is to spread cultural awareness in Vermont schools and to provide much needed supplies to the people of Ghana.
They’re currently working with a school in the city of Kasoa, which is about an hour outside of the capital city of Accra. Last October, Heather and Jordan brought a small offering of books and soccer balls to the school, which has been struggling to provide educational resources to children of all ages. This year, their goal is to provide additional supplies to the students – children’s toys, educational games and bicycles for transportation. If you have items you’d like to donate to the cause, please reach out to Heather directly.
Thank you Heather and Jordan for Doing Good. You’re an inspiration to us all!
