But Carly wanted to do more—she wanted to “change lives,” she says.She remembered that her grandmother’s Rotary club had,years earlier,raised money to build a school in Vietnam.That was it,she decided.She’d build a school,too.

She put together a PowerPoint presentation on the people and culture of Vietnam.At 12,hardly able to see over the platform,she gave her first fund-raising speech.She spoke with enthusiasm “The kids in rural Vietnam don’t have good schools,” she told a room of 200 Rotarians.“That’s not fair.I want to raise money and improve the school condition to make their lives better.”

In two years,Carly set off with her family across Ohio,visiting three or four Rotary clubs a week.“We traveled like crazy people to all these meetings,” recalled her mother,Kris.

Finally,Carly raised $ 50,000,which was matched by the Vietnam Children’s Fund.At the donation ceremony in Hoa Lac,the school principal was impressed with the ninth grader.“How wonderful,” he said through a translator,“that a girl wanted to do something for kids of her age so far away.”
