Leah Wohl-Pollack, who has been living with type-1 diabetes for over 13 years, traveled to Bolivia in January with American Youth Understanding Diabetes Abroad Inc. The Spanish and environmental studies major spent two weeks there helping Campo Amigo Bolivia—three-day camps that teach youths and their families how to manage their condition and empower them to be leaders in community action. Leah has pledged to raise $3,750 to send impoverished children to CAB. She encourages anyone interested in AYUDA to visit www.ayudainc.net.
