Katya learned about Few for Change by chance while researching volunteer opportunities in Panama. She was drawn by Few for Change's mission to improve access to education for students in the indigenous Comarca Ngäbe-Buglé region of Panama. Her early years in Panama have instilled in her a strong sense of cultural pride and a dedication to give back to her community.
