About Me
​Hello! I'm Siarra, an international student with a journey spanning across Canada, Thailand, Hong Kong, and now Switzerland. My academic path led me through an International Baccalaureate school, where I found a gateway to connect with like-minded individuals, schools, and groups who share my passion for Sparkle.
​
My involvement dates back to 2016, sparked by an inspiring speech from Sarah Brook, the founder and CEO of the Sparkle Foundation. As I delved into the charity's mission, I found myself moved by the challenges faced by children in Malawi and inspired by the relentless efforts of the Sparkle Team in creating brighter futures. Over the years, my commitment has deepened from supporting initiatives like Colour Runs and Knitathons, to establishing my own annual Sparkle Telethon fundraiser.
Most recently, I transitioned into a internship at the foundation, providing me with the incredible opportunity to work full-time with our UK and UAE teams, as well as directly with our beneficiaries in Malawi for three fulfilling months.
​
During my time in Zomba, witnessing the impact of our programs first-hand was truly eye-opening. Over 15,000 individuals experience the positive influence of Sparkle each day. Contributing to an organization of this caliber has not only allowed me to comprehend the depth of our influence but has also empowered me to recognize the significant role we play in sustainable development.
