My name is Jeni Huezo. I just graduated from Parkdale high school
in Prince George's County Maryland. I am Mirant Corporation/USHYEE Scholar and an intern at U.S. Hispanic Youth Entrepreneur
Education (USHYEE). One afternoon after watching the news about the oil spill, the gravity of the situation dawned on
me. Project RESTORE! was born out of a discussion I had with USHYEE President Luis Borunda. That afternoon, I
shared what I had learned about the Gulf of Mexico disaster with Mr. Borunda and I finally understood; I had to do something
about it, but what? What was I going to do? I could give donations to help support the organizations working near the gulf
area, but I didn't even have a job. "Oh well," I said to myself "one day you will be able to help."
But I just couldn't let that thought or desire to contribute escape. What was happening in the Gulf area was unacceptable.

In my conversation
with Mr. Borunda I told him that I didn’t know much about the BP oil spill but I felt we had a duty to share. So I suggested
that it would be a good idea for USHYEE to take part in building awareness and help the families affected by this disaster.
Little did I know what we were planning. This small idea has become bigger and we need people like you to help.

Mexico by aligning ourselves with existing organizations providing direct services to these families.
