With Christmas around the corner and the new year upon us, it’s a great time for reflection. There is a lot going on in the world, and our team at Newman Global recognizes some of the challenges in the world while we try to better understand others. As a team, we are truly blessed by the support we receive from our families, friends, and our community. I am reflecting on my last year of high school before I embark on my next chapter. My NGI teammates—Ilaria, Matteo, Madelyn, Nicole, Alessia—are all embarking on their next chapters as well. We are fortunate to have many juniors, sophomores, and freshmen on the NGI team to continue our work and continue to grow our impact on various communities.
As we move into 2025, we will continue to raise awareness in many areas, including mental health, food security, shelter, and refugee migration support. It is great to raise funds to lend a helping hand, but raising awareness about the challenges many face, both at home and abroad, is equally important. Let’s reflect during the joyous holiday season and find it within ourselves to continue to make a small impact in any way possible. How will you make a difference in 2025?
