Founder

Damacia Shang

Hi! My name is Damacia Shang, and I am a rising junior at Sage Hill School. In my free time, I enjoy playing with my dog, reading, and traveling. I'm passionate about biology and environmental science, and I'm so excited to work with students from around the world to learn about various cultures!

I went to Humahuaca, Argentina as part of a service trip in the summer of 2025, and fell in love with the culture. Working with the local students inspired me to start this volunteer platform, uniting students from US, Argentina and China to share knowledge, culture, and make learning fun!
