The organization that I am interning for is MADD which is Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the reason I decided to intern for this Non-Profit Organization is because I lost my sister Malak Hariri who was 19 years old to a Drunk Driver. Five people died, one girl survived this happen on September 28, 2013 in Burbank, CA it was announced as the biggest car crash in Burbank History. MADD issues free services to families that have been effected by Drunk Drivers. All of there services are free, resulting in helping each family member overcoming the loss of their loved one. They are nationwide and they want to reduce and eliminate drunk driving. I am so thankful to be interning for them, I am changing and saving lives.
I will be helping out in the events that they have scheduled for this upcoming year. I also will be speaking at the Victim Impact Panel Classes that they have for the people that are issued a DUI, when one gets a DUI you have to take this three hour class in order to get your certification of being there. I also have been speaking at several events that have been passed, but touching people and changing someones lives is amazing. I took this opportunity to reduce drunk driving so that people will make it home and be smart about the decisions they make, but also I am doing this for my sister RIP MALAK HARIRI I LOVE YOU. She is my "WHY".
