umanities―and takes it to heart. Recently, this dynamic, compassionate woman organized a campus fundraiser for Samaritan’s Purse (http://www.samaritanspurse.org).The aim behind the event was twofold: to raise funds for this worthwhile charity, while educating others and soothing fears about Ebola.
She counts jewelry design among her many talents, and combined this with fashion, song and dance to create a wonderful night on campus. Fellow students at Mount Aloysius modeled clothes and accessories with the confidence and style usually associated with New York Fashion Week! Mardiá’s efforts, with their help, poured hundreds of dollars into Samaritan’s Purse.

I had the opportunity to connect with Madiá after speaking at a conference. She truly embodies Sir Winston Churchill’s quote, “We make a living by what we make but we make a life by what we give.” She is a bright young woman with an exceptionally bright future.
