Sofia Krahe

Sofia Krahe is a current sophomore at Maggie Walker Governor's School(MLWGS). She is so glad to be the co-president of Sisters Project Peru MLWGS branch. Sisters Project Peru connected her desire to help people and her interests in science and medicine, and inspired her from the moment she joined. In many of her other volunteering endeavors, she helps underprivileged kids in the community learn how to read and do math. She also helps kids with mental or physical disabilities overcome difficulties in order to play the sport that they love: baseball.  In her free time over the weekends, she either does volunteer work or expands her medical knowledge by taking online Johns Hopkins programs. The current course she is taking highlights the different areas of medicine and is helping her decide what field she wants to go into as she gets closer to college. At school, she participates in Model United Nations (MUN) and the Spanish Club. The reason she chose the Spanish club is because she has always loved languages. They connect people all over the world. For her, being trilingual allows her to fully immerse herself in the culture and language of her overseas family. She believes MUN allows her to delve into real-world problems which provides many opportunities to build skills in critical problem-solving and communication. Sisters Project Peru provides her the opportunity to tie all of these skills together.
