Emily Thoonkuzhy

Hello, my name is Emily, and I am a Sophomore at Mount Saint Joseph's Academy in Fouratown, PA. Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by stories of Kairos, thanks to my great uncle, Rt.Rev.Dr. Jacob Thoonkuzhy, and great aunt, Bertila Thoonkuzhy, who have dedicated themselves to this cause. Recently, I had a profound experience that has forever changed my perspective.

I had the privilege of exchanging heartfelt letters with a girl my age who resides in Kairos. As we shared our lives and interests, I couldn't help but notice the striking similarity we were and how we shared intrests like playing cards. However, what truly struck me was the stark contrast in our circumstances. These letters became a powerful catalyst for self-reflection, making me acutely aware of the immense blessings and opportunities I have been granted.

Motivated by this newfound understanding, I approached my great aunt, seeking guidance on how I could contribute to improving the lives and education of these girls. Together, we embarked on a journey to create a website and brainstorm fundraising ideas. My ultimate aspiration is to make a tangible and lasting impact on the lives of these girls, offering them a chance to break free from the limitations they face and embrace a future filled with endless possibilities.

With unwavering determination, I am committed to creating a ripple effect of positive change. I believe that every girl deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to shape her own destiny. By channeling my passion and resources, I hope to ignite a spark within these girls, empowering them to rewrite their stories and unlock their full potential.

Join me on this transformative journey as we work together to uplift, inspire, and provide these girls with the tools they need to change their lives for the better. Together, we can create a brighter future, one filled with hope, opportunity, and boundless potential.
