HWIS Connection

Harriet Zaffoni and Petia Abdur-Razzaaq (HWIS Parent, Mandarin Grade 4) met at a networking event many years ago and immediately connected. At the time, Harriet's non-profit Lend a Hand Uganda USA was expanding and needed help promoting its various fundraising efforts. Petia immediately agreed and became an official member of the LAHU-USA family. Today, she is a member of the Board and is looking forward to visiting Uganda for the first time this summer with her 10-year daughter, Soleil, on a volunteer trip.
