Detroit Mercy's Sarah Hirschmann helps kids abroad and at home
Sarah Hirschmann is, quite simply, a doer.
She dreamed of helping people in Africa so she volunteered as a teacher in Kenya for six weeks this past summer.
When she visited Haiti as a high school student and was inspired to do more, she organized her own nonprofit organization “One Kid at a Time” and has been running it ever since.
When she felt she was doing so much on her trips around the world, but not enough at home, she began organizing an after-school-program for a Detroit elementary school.
