Summary
My objective is to leverage my extensive experience in Non-Profit management, volunteer coordination, and community engagement to combat the anti-Western ideologies that drive parents like me out of public schools. By helping NAVI implement localized strategies, select appropriate tactics, and develop and mobilize parent groups in accordance with their national strategy, I will contribute demonstrably to this fight.
