Fourteen-year-old Carly Zalenski is back in her Jackson Township home after a 10-day trip to Vietnam where she dedicated a new school for disadvantaged children.
For the past two years, Carly traveled around the state speaking to Rotary Clubs and holding fund raisers in an attempt to raise the $50,000 needed to build Kids Building Hope school in the Mekong Delta.
Judy Lorigan, Carly's grandmother, accompanied Carly and her family. Carly said Lorigan was her inspiration for the project after she saw photos of the school Lorigan helped build in Vietnam a few years ago.
''The school dedication will be something that is etched in everyone's memory for life,'' Lorigan said.
The Vietnam Children's Fund of Washington D.C. matched the funds for the school, named after the foundation Carly formed with the help of the Rotary Club of Canton.
''We had five children with us . . . such poverty, and Vietnamese children with so little and with no opportunity. This will be life changing for them, and I think it will make them better adults,'' Lorigan said.
