Why Children Hit Home
In a recent interview, Gerych said the following: “My linchpin moment was at age 10, when I had the pleasure of serving as City Beautiful. There I stood in front of the school grounds, dropping a penny in a donation jug on live TV. That role taught me the importance of supporting the less fortunate, and how even a small donation can make a large impact in a child’s life.” As a freelancer, Alkawther is nothing short of a writing engineer in a myriad of genres and subjects; thus draws her inference from real world experiences and attributes her strengths from overcoming weakness in her childhood adversity. Today she leads a superior mind + superior health life motto as a runner and holistic guru.. Her published books are reflective of her perspicacity to integrate a mindful and prosperous life potential in children facing life travails.
