Meet Ameer, a rising junior at The Roxbury Latin School, whose passion for learning and connecting with others is making a difference across the globe.

For Ameer, teaching with SmartKids Ghana has been nothing short of life-changing. He shares:

“Connecting so directly with peers from another part of the world, who are living different lives, opened my eyes to a reality I just didn’t see that often. I would love to continue this experience and help out even more people.”

Ameer’s journey as a Zoom teacher has given him the chance to further develop the teaching skills he has already built through his previous experiences. But beyond that, it’s about something bigger helping to make the world a better place. His dedication, empathy, and drive to create meaningful impact shine through in every class he teaches.

In addition to teaching, Ameer is also taking on the ambassador fundraising challenge. Each Zoom teacher has a fundraising goal of $250 that supports transportation, logistics, and learning resources for scholars. Ameer has embraced this responsibility, knowing that every contribution helps create opportunities for scholars who deserve the best education possible.

We are so proud to have Ameer as part of the SmartKids Ghana family. His commitment reminds us that education not only transforms scholars but also broadens the hearts and minds of those who teach.

 Thank you, Ameer, for inspiring others and for choosing to use your talents to uplift children in Ghana!
