Education

Camellia Raine is a strong supporter of universal access to education, regardless of socioeconomic status or citizenship. In her time serving in the Peace Corps, Raine observed countless children who were illiterate and had never gone to school purely because of the poverty they lived in. Thus, she took it upon herself to never let a child in the US have to succumb to that, and to advocate for nonprofit international educational programs, like Teachers Without Borders. "I know that universal access to education will not come in my lifetime or even in my childrens', but I will take solace in that I helped the world take one step closer to being better, to being able to educate every child without complications." stated Raine, Friday.
