      The Platform of Hope is a nonprofit located in Washington DC that strives to help low-income families find the proper resources in order to overcome difficult times. I have been Volunteering and interning with this nonprofit since June 2023. I work both remotely and in person. My responsibility is to translate documents and writings for families who have difficulty speaking English, this is usually done virtually. But I also help with food distributions which are held once a month.

I teach basic grammar and conversational words and sentences to them. Although I have interned for a couple of months I continue to be amazed wit each of my students who continues to seek education during such a scary and difficult time.
