Today’s spotlight falls on Kara Rippey, a Co-Head of the Sidwell Friends HER Club. Kara became interested in girls’ education in middle school when she joined her peers in fundraising for a girls' school in Kenya. During her Sophomore year, she learned more about HER and its mission to collect educational materials and build libraries across the world. Kara became enthusiastic about HER and later became a Co-Head at Sidwell during her Junior year. Out of all aspects of the club, Kara’s favorite part is being able to virtually meet and engage with the students from HER’s libraries.
