On August 5, next Friday evening, Global Youth Philanthropy organizes a unique students’ cross-cultures event, GYP, the fourth Intercultural Symposium, “Education, Races, and more.” Four high school students who all grew up in the Boston area will share their educational background and their views and experiences on “education and races” in today’s American society.
These four panelists are excellent high school students in the Boston area, but they came from different school systems, some from exam school, one from a private school, and one from a very good public school. Even though they all grew up in a large Boston area, their families’ legacies are very diversified, from Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Iran, and China.
They will share their educational experiences and their personal view of race, equal educational opportunities, and other social issues in America.
Global Youth Philanthropy is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
Topic: “Education, Races, and more.”
Time: Aug 5, 2022, 09:00 PM Eastern Time (the US and Canada)

Event Moderator: Theresa Fu
Hi everyone! My name is Theresa Fu, and I’m a rising junior from Lake Forest Academy. I hope with this upcoming symposium that people can learn more and interact with cultures they may not be as exposed to (it’s also just a safe space to discuss all things multicultural!). In my spare time, I enjoy dancing, coding, and reading.
Panelist: Darvensky Daniel
Hi, I’m Darvensky Daniel; I’ll be a senior at Noble and Greenough this upcoming year. I’m passionate about coding and track and field. I founded the Coding Club at my school during my Sophomore year and have done many projects and events involving my community. I started track and field Freshman year and currently participate in multiple events: 100m dash, Long Jump, Javelin, and Discus. There are other hobbies I enjoy such as guitar, puzzles, and being active.
Panelist: Chandu Christopher
My name is Chandu Christopher, and I’m fifteen years old and heading into the 10th grade. I live with my mom and day and two siblings — an older brother and a younger sister. I was born and raised in Boston, MA, but since kindergarten, I’ve been attending school in Wellesley, MA. In school, my favorite subject is usually math, but it seems to change every year. Outside of school I’m interested in training and working out for sports such as football and track and field and now wrestling. Whenever I have free time I like to play video games with my friends and watch youtube. One of my goals while partaking in the GYP this summer is to improve my presentation skills.
Panelist: Melika Mostafavi
My name is Melika Mostafavi. I was born in Iran and came to the United States at a young age. I attended private schools until 7th grade when I attended a public school. I enjoy drawing and video games. I also enjoy making keychains.
Panelist: Caroline Song
Caroline Song is a 9th grader at Boston Latin School. Aside from studying, she enjoys writing stories and (really bad) poems in her spare time, as well as doing origami and reading books. Some of her interests include astrophysics, Greek mythology, and martial arts. She also plays the clarinet and the piano and likes to go biking through the woods. At school, she is a content editor for the school’s science magazine, Catapult, and an active member of the Speech and Debate Team, the Science Team, and Mock Trial. She always tries her best to get engaged in her community and connect with others and is driven by her curiosity and passion for learning. Caroline hopes that with a lot of hard work and a bit of determination, she can make the world a better place; and maybe have some fun along the way.
