Growing up in Buffalo, NY Amy was always interested in working with people. Her true passion is working with people residing in disadvantaged areas. With an interest in mental health, Amy pursued her Masters degree in psychiatric social work at University of Illinois at Chicago. During this time she decided to travel to Tanzania for an international volunteer trip. As the plane landed, Amy realized her love for Africa. That love only grew as she began to develop relationships with the local communities, particularly the Tuleeni community of Mama Faraji and all of her children. Amy has returned to Buffalo, where she is happily married and working as a social worker. Amy is ecstatic to be part of the inspirational and compassionate group of individuals that make up The Faraji Foundation.
