Thanks for visiting my fundraising page! My name is Camila Wilson, I am 26 years old, my birthday is Christmas Eve, and I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and I currently live in Houston, Texas. I started fundraising in 2019, on the birthday of my brother and I's late best friend. I wanted to honor the inspiration I found in one of his childhood family friends, who was an enviornmental activist, a doctor, and a nonprofit organizer of the TerraForm Group, based in Kenya, and responsible for the clean-up of contaminated earth near lead Mining sites, that were impacting the lives and health of Children living in these specific, local villages in Chad. This person had a big impact on my friend's life, and that meant a lot to me, and he even made an impact on my life, with just a few phone calls and messages through social media!

Day One is Remarkable so far. Beginning with one hour of yoga meditation, and last night's campfire watching still-frame movies by a Polish director, was a great way to meet the team! I chanted Aum, listened to Ravi Shankar's Morning Raga, and ate an apple! I am happy, my yoga and breath meditation is helping me overcome a lot of physical, and mental, blockages. And I am really grateful for the AHaH Sponsorship Program for assisting me in traveling out here for 3 weeks of work in Fort Myers! If you didn't know, here are the details of Hurricane Ian and AHaH. Fort Myers, located in the sunshine state of Florida, is a vibrant city known for its stunning beaches, lively atmosphere, and rich history. However, its coastal location also exposes it to the occasional wrath of powerful tropical storms. One such notable hurricane was Hurricane Ian, which made landfall near Fort Myers in the not-so-distant past. With its strong winds and torrential rains, Ian left a trail of destructi...
