Team

My name is Eline Asase and I was born in 2007.  I currently attend The Thacher School, a private boarding school in Ojai, California as the class of 2025.  This year I am completing a School Year Abroad in Zaragoza, Spain. I am a gymnast, a pianist, a violinist and I like to bake and create art. My favorite book is currently Hoot by Carl Hiaasen.

​

I am passionate about C2C because I want to give back to the communities I grew up in (Ghana, Nigeria). Education rates in Africa are low and as a founder of C2C, I would like to help change that, one child at a time.

My name is Amirrah Uwhubetine and I was born in 2006. I am graduating from Woodward Academy as the class of 2024, after studying in Rennes, France with School Year Abroad (SYA). I serve on the Leadership Board at my school and love fashion. My favorite book is currently 1984 by George Orwell.

I am incredibly proud to have started this project with my team, because I want children to understand the beauty of reading and experience the adventure that comes with it. I wish all children who received our books to see the world through these texts and encourage them to continue exploring. 

My name is Sedinam Asase and I was born in 2006. I graduated from The Thacher School in June 2023. I am currently taking a Gap Year working in retail and as a French tutor. Additionally, I am supporting the Global Fund for Children's Initiative (Adolescent Girls Summit) in Liberia.

​

I enjoy horseback riding and playing sports, mainly soccer and lacrosse. I enjoyed reading A Woman Unknown by Lucia Graves.

​

I have always been an avid reader and would love to share that passion with children in Ghana and Nigeria. As a founder of C2C, I am happy to have the opportunity to see this come to reality. 
 

My name is Azzarrée Uwhubetine and I was born in 2005. I currently attend The University of Edinburgh in Scotland studying English Language and Literature. I enjoy traveling and singing in choir.  I really enjoyed reading the Legacy of OrÏsha by Tomi Adeyemi.

 

I have always loved reading books.  From a young age, I would spend hours reading novels that took me to new worlds that I saw through different people’s perspectives. As a founder of C2C, I want others to have the opportunity to experience this joy as well.

​

My name is Isabelle Quaynor and I was born in 2005. I graduated from Badminton School for Girls in Bristol, England in 2023 and will start University this year. My passions are singing and dancing. I enjoyed reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.

 

For as long as I can remember I have always enjoyed helping others. Reading brings you to a whole other world where your imagination gets to run wild. Children should get to experience this type of feeling. That is why I am grateful to be apart of such an amazing foundation as an ambassador.

My name is Oliviah Matthews, and I was born in 2006. I am a senior at Woodward Academy, graduating with the class of 2024. I enjoy baking, acting, softball, and cheerleading. Currently, my favorite book is Black Boy by Richard Wright.

​

I joined C2C because it is an organization moving a step forward to address the crisis of education around the world. I believe education is power, and all children deserve equal access to quality education. Being a part of C2C allows me to help others experience the importance of education and books.

I have always enjoyed helping others by infusing my passions. Reading allows you to learn new things and build a wonderful imaginative world outside of reality. I am excited to have the opportunity to help the communities around me and build a better world by helping educate the younger generation. My hope is that anyone who reads these books will continue to dream big.
