“SHFC (Sanya’s Hope For Children) strongly believes every child deserves basic human rights like food, shelter, clothes, safety, health, and education.”
Hello! My name is Sanya Pirani, I am a junior at Prior Lake High School, Minnesota; the CEO/Founder of Sanya’s Hope For Children (SHFC); and the Community Action Partnership Agency Youth Ambassador. I have been volunteering and fundraising since the age of seven. I am committed to helping children and transforming communities one life at a time. With half the world’s population under the ripe age of 25, SHFC’s mission is to help young people with basic necessities of life, fund educational endeavors, find their voice, take action, and make an impact on vital community issues. We completed our Christmas Bag Project with the help of family, friends, and local community.
Among my Christmas wishes, one is to give at least 500 school bags to children in need. I am filling 500 school bags that my partners and I sewed throughout the year with community volunteers, school supplies, books, and a toy. I would love to have partners fill these bags for local children who are homeless and live in shelters.
Now is the time to help a local child. Let’s make children happy. Get some friends together and help adopt a bag for a child. Feel free to respond via my Facebook page “Sanya’s Hope For Children” or text my mother 952-201-1920 to adopt a bag as an individual or as a family or as a church group. In addition, please call or text with any questions.
I need help from the need community to fill 500 Christmas Bags. This project started when I was 7 years old. We could not continue to achieve this major goal without the help of my team members (Andrea, Emily, Sara, and Olivia) and many community volunteers/partners.
