Personal Development Exercises:

This week, we spotlight Mari Copeny, also known as "Little Miss Flint," a young American activist who has been a powerful advocate for clean water and children’s rights since she was eight years old. Growing up in Flint, Michigan, Mari brought national attention to the Flint water crisis by writing a letter to President Barack Obama, leading to his visit and increased awareness. Her fearless activism has highlighted the importance of environmental justice and access to clean water.

Beyond the water crisis, Mari has organized fundraisers to provide clean water and educational resources to children in affected communities. With the support of her family, she balances her activism with her education and personal life. Her dedication and bravery make her an inspiring daughter and a prominent figure in the fight for environmental and social justice.
