About Amelia Cho

Hello! My name is Amelia Cho and I am a Junior at Oakcrest School in Vienna, Virginia. My passion for helping teens and children began in the fall of 2022. I was looking for a way to help kids in need during the school year, and I came across a platform called ENGin. This organization connected me with a girl in Ukraine who needed help learning English. Going forward, I met with her nearly every Sunday to teach her English, and I still meet her today! After hearing her own stories and experiences of how she has been affected by the devastating war in Ukraine, I knew I wanted to do more to help. In May 2023, I had a great opportunity to collaborate with The Boutcher Group to host a fundraising event to raise money for United Help Ukraine, a non profit organization that provides humanitarian relief for those affected by the war in Ukraine.
