Divya Saini’s grant will pay for an education campaign preparing Palo Altans for earthquakes.
Juniors
Tatiana Grossman’s micro-grant will help Gunn’s African Literacy Club ship the children’s books it is collecting for Spread the Words, a non-profit which helps establish libraries in primary schools in sub-Saharan Africa.
Sungkook Peter Kim will be using his Gunn Grant to provide sheet music and music stands to Gunn musicians performing for war veterans in Palo Alto Veterans’ Hospital.
Praniti Sinha’s grant will help Gunn’s Asha Club run a fundraiser for Asha for Education, an organization which provides computers, food and education to orphans in Bangalore, India.
