Medium Article #1

I’m excited to have launched my first article on Medium.com this month. My passion for service learning, measuring impact and understanding wellbeing is growing through my case study research. In my newly published article I share the stories of two young men who changed their lives as a result of sponsorship providing free schooling in Indonesia.

Research Findings

  • Consistency, new ideas, and standing out from others are the three driving factors that helped one young man to change the destiny of himself and his family.
  • Selflessness to protect family was a feature of the other young man.
  • Whether middle school or high school graduates, both young men are able to support their families, a mindset shift from the older generation.
