Profile:

Most people on a gap year are content with just seeing the world. And not to try and change it. But on her return, Maggie decided to start a school in Nepal with the aim to sustain and improve the quality for children of Nepal.
 
She has since started her foundation called BlinkNow Foundation to share her ideas with other young people. Maggie won The prestigious Do Something award in America for all that she has done so far.

Maggie hasn't just built a school, she first built a home, and lives with and cares for 30 children...next up: A school for her children and the greater needs of the surrounding poverty stricken area she lives in. So, yes. More remarkable as you learn more of her story: blinknow.org
