About me:
Originally a "countrygirl" born in a tiny French village at the German border (Husseren-Wesserling), I discovered at 17 the frenzy of Paris...which i liked a lot! I was shared between my studies in Political Science and modelling represented by Metropolitan Models Agency.
Now In New York, I keep on studying (completing my masters) and I dedicate most of my time to the non-profit organization I founded - AFRICAN EDUCATION INITIATIVE - which I am currently directing with my dear friend Holly Bartle.
We strive to enhance the educational conditions in primary schools in West Africa (Togo and Ghana for now) in order to help children set their sights higher. We build libraries, classrooms, provide educational material and sponsor orphans.
In Togo not all children have the chance to attend primary schools, while a great share of the others who can, study in difficult conditions. Because every children has a right to education, help us by donating, sponsoring a child or volunteering, more infos on: http://sites.google.com/site/modelscarecharityhttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9036792
