Teen Starts Youth Library On Her Own
Cool.
From a story on the Dearborn Patch...
There’s only one thing that Dearborn High School senior Dema Fawaz enjoys more than reading, and that’s helping others.
But recently, the 17-year-old got the chance to honor both passions with a fundraiser she initiated for Oakwood’s Center for Exceptional Families.
At her mother’s suggestion, Fawaz went to the CEF to explore volunteer opportunities. But she found a much greater calling during her visit.
“I went there and loved it and the atmosphere and the staff were so friendly,” she said. “But I walked by the library and saw that they had no books, and I thought, ‘Something needs to be done about this.’”
