Designer clothes, expensive purses, flashy cars.
This is what people think about when they hear the name Seaholm. However, some Seaholm students are starting to break the stereotypical Birmingham mold.
Over the summer, a group of students traveled to Ghana, Africa to help impoverished children. Everyone knew that it was going to be something they would remember for the rest of their lives; but for Seaholm seniors Ben Eveslage and Jessica Forzano, it changed their lives completely.“The experience I had in Ghana inspired me in a way I have never felt. When I was sitting on the plane coming home I knew I had to do more no matter what it took,” said senior Jessica Forzano.
After a lot of hard work and long hours of planning Eveslage and Forzano have finally found a way that they can help people living in Africa. The group they formed is called Volunteer Africa. A group dedicated to bettering the lives for poverty stricken people living in Africa.
