What is the charity you chose to represent?

I chose Room to Read because it helps to spread literacy throughout underdeveloped Asian and African countries. Reading has always been an important part of my life, and I hope that the passion I feel for it can be spread to these areas as well. It also promotes education for girls in these countries, which is important because I am a huge proponent for gender equality.
