Autumn is my favorite time of the year, and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I’ve loved costume parties and Halloween movies since I was a kid, and I’m super stoked to be helping The Hamels Foundation plan a Halloween celebration!
As soon as the idea of a Halloween party was put in my head, I was all for it. Since Halloween is such a kid-friendly holiday, we really wanted to do something that families can enjoy. It’ll be a great night for families to celebrate the spookiest time of the year together. Plus, there’s going to

On my very first day of my internship with The Hamels Foundation, Bri and I were told that we were going to be planning a “Girls Night Out” event. We needed to find vendors, food, set a date and time, and create a flyer. I felt a little overwhelmed because I had never planned an event before that just wasn’t my birthday or high school graduation party. There were tons of details that needed to be thought about and decisions had to be made quickly, which was a struggle for me because I am the most indecisive person you could ...

As September quickly approaches, so does the official opening of our school in Malawi. As interns at The Hamels Foundation this semester it is our goal to do all that we can to make this beginning for these students as successful as possible.
