Brooklyn tech student founds non-profit to deliver books to the less fortunate
Giving back with the gift of knowledge.
That is what 16-year-old Brooklyn Technical High School student Dea Kurti has done. In addition to her studies and countless responsibilities and activities at her school, in July, 2017, she also founded Novel Girls, a non-profit that hosts book drives, and sends books about STEM or women empowerment to schools and libraries around the world.
Kurti, who spent four years of her childhood in Albania, was inspired by her parents who are immigrants from there.
