Global Deeds

Dear Global Deeds Family,

Let us take this day to embrace the silence we need to listen—to our own hearts and to the hearts of others. If uncertainty is making you anxious or uneasy, let’s try changing how we FEEL about it and choose gratitude instead. Yes, I am grateful for the surprises that lie ahead. I am ready for any circumstance that may completely alter my plans, trusting that it will be the best path forward—even if, right now, I cannot imagine what that path looks like, I trust the “GPS of Life”. We will arrive together and in peace. How do you feel after imagining the possibility of a much better future? 😉

As an educator and social entrepreneur, 2025 has been a challenging year. However, there is a silver lining in everything we experience, and we are deeply grateful for the positive moments and progress that have emerged along the way.

We hope that those who follow our work also support public school educators, administrators, and staff, and remain committed to advancing the education of disadvantaged students at every level. Let us keep in mind the challenges future generations will face, which will directly affect every single one of us. They need us—as mentors, tutors, advocates, and providers of scholarship support.

Give what you can, and never stop giving. At the end, you will notice it was a major investment.

Enjoy the holiday season!

Visiting in NYC.

In Washington Heights, New York City, the poverty rate is approximately 19.2% according to the most recent data. This figure indicates that nearly one in five residents in the area live below the federal poverty line. This percentage is higher than the overall poverty rate for New York City, which stands around 18.3%.

We are planning grassroots activities within this community in New York.
