4.At five,Sheliza began volunteering in her neighborhood.Also,she joined Girl Guides of Canada,which allowed her to develop leadership skills.
On her 12th birthday,she had an allergic reaction to her birthday cake.The unpleasant experience caused her to find a different way to celebrate her birthday.Then,it occurred to her that many children never have the chance to celebrate their birthday at a11.
Thus,the next year,she celebrated her birthday by donating money and serving a meal to homeless families.After this birthday her wish was to change the world by spreading joy to badly-off children.This vision led to the creation of Children's Birthday Miracles(CBM),a non-profit organization intended to provide hope and celebration for less fortunate children.
CBM provides cake,presents,entertainment and necessities to create birthdays that children dream of.This past year Coca-Cola sponsored 35,000,which was used to rent a theme park for 200poor teens.The teens experienced a day where they escaped the struggles of reality and celebrated an important occasion-their birthday.
This organization has now grown internationally as we now host birthday parties in Dar-es-Sa-laam.Tanzania.In addition,CBM has inspired over 30children in the past three months to donate their own birthday presents to CBM.At present,they have a devoted team of enthusiastic youth,adults and businesses that helped us reach our goal of raising over 65,000with major sponsors:National Bank,Coca-Cola and McDonalds Canada.
As Sheliza is the President of her Junior Achievement(JA)company,this organization has taught her that youth have the ability to become entrepreneurs(企业家).
