When each of us faced what felt like a dead-end road in our fundraising efforts, we reached out and decided to join forces and work as a team for the same cause. This is when we realized the power of collaborative effort. We worked so well together and were able to build a primary school in Senegal, Africa. We quickly realized that this was the fuel to the fire we had in us to keep going and keep chasing our dream of making the world a better place, something we all are passionate about. At this point – we became a family. In the following couple of years, we worked together to build a primary school in Guatemala, build water pumps in Chad and build a basketball court in Danbury, Connecticut. It was clear how much we enjoy creating social impact and utilizing our different skill sets and collaborative efforts to reach our goals. So – we decided to commit to being part of the change we want to see in this world and established the Team Up organization.
