Take a few minutes to meet one of our newest members of the Board of Directors, Ruby Englund!A long-time member of First Free Methodist Church, Ruby has heard various presentations about Sister Schools and our program over the years, so she's always been a part of our network, but when she heard we were looking for new Directors this spring, she decided that this would be the perfect role to step into, especially as COVID-19 had restricted the ways she could volunteer over the last few years.Already, she's gone above and beyond! Not only is she always willing to ask questions and pose solutions in our meetings, but she's not afraid to tell others about Sister Schools! In fact, her ability to socialize and spread our mission is already having an impact; she's got several guests coming to our upcoming auction as well as soliciting some really awesome items!You can read more about Ruby, her past life as a nursing instructor, and more on our blog, www.sisterschools.org/interview-ruby-englund#SisterSchools #openingeyeschanginglives #compassion #service #socialresponsibility #Uganda #seattle #local #dualimpact #FeatureFridays #TGIF ...

Payal Hegde was one of the very first candidates we spoke to when we began recruiting for the Sister Schools Board of Directors this spring – and we think she is the perfect fit!Not only does she have a passion for improving educational opportunities based on her own childhood in India, but she also values the “dual-impact” nature of our mission – teaching local students that no matter who they are, what they look like, or how much money their families have, they can always make a difference in the world. Payal has a unique perspective that we believe will be instrumental as Sister Schools charts a path forward and continues opening eyes and changing lives for years (hopefully decades!) to come.You can read an interview with Payal on our blog, www.sisterschools.org/interview-payal-hegde#SisterSchools #openingeyeschanginglives #compassion #service #socialresponsibility #uganda #seattle #local #dualimpact #featurefridays #tgif #volunteer #boardofdirectors #recruitment#boardcorner ...

Since retiring form his career as a banker, Tom Andrew has had some free time on his hands. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he has been "practicing doing very little" and has continued to hone his skills in three very important areas: "reading in history and political thinking, taking my grandchildren on short day trips to places they want to go, and unambitious, cosmetic home improvement."When he's not working with Sister Schools, his Rotary Club, or at his church, you're most likely to find him sailing: "while I no longer own a boat, I mooch whenever I can!"You can read more about Tom on our blog, www.sisterschools.org/interview-tom-andrew ...
