Hafsa was the recipient a 2008 PPL Outstanding Youth Award, as a fifthgrader. She is pictured here with her mother and two brothers.
Hafsa became a great leader during her first year in the PPL Scholar’s program. She came to group with willingness to try new things and help out as a peer tutor. She was once overheard saying, “That’s why I like PPL, it’s so much fun even when you’re doing homework.”
