Between the dates of March 25 and April 20, the Davie Respect Initiative will hold a drive to give back to the HSDC.

Another understands that sometimes the best teachers for teens are other teens.
And yet another sends positive vibes via special characters.

​Journey Bowman is a returning Ambassador of Respect, receiving the recognition for a second time! This go around, Journey's project is her Senior Spotlight piece in the Davie County Enterprise Record which is a regular feature highlighting the lives and contributions of local seniors. Journey continues to be an active Ambassador of Respect!


​Amilea Redmon 
along with her mom, Stephanie, started Art4Cause (find them on Facebook). Amilea is on the Autism spectrum and finds that art is how she can express herself in a way that serves others and brings a smile. Amilea enjoys being able to give her artwork as gifts and hopes to inspire others, especially those on the Autism spectrum to not give up on what they enjoy and find meaningful. ​

Hannah Watson looked around her and noticed that there were students  who were falling behind in their studies. As a natural problem solver, she decided to start a peer tutoring program to bring students together to help one another. After getting started, it became clear that students were not only tutoring one another, but they are coming together and getting to know one another. 
Hannah also recently had the opportunity as a newly minted Ambassador of Respect, to meet with a visitor to the community from Harare, Zimbabwe. Cheu Pswarayi is a business woman and overall problem solver who, a number of years ago, was listed on the Forbes Magazine Top 30 Entrepreneurs Under 30 in Africa. Of her experience meeting with Cheu, Hannah remarked, "I was so thankful for the experience to meet with Cheu and listen to another successful woman in STEM." 
​

Cheu works with healthcare access in Africa and Hannah is planning to pursue a degree in Biomedical Tech and Engineering in order to help people around the world. These ladies hope to reconnect when Hannah graduates and she says she would love to be able to work for Cheu someday. Inspiring young women connecting around the globe!
