Alison Starr Fischer, junior at Hunter College, strikes to expand her knowledge  and skills based on her passion in volunteering for the Cross-Cultural Solutions program in Russia, focused on identifying the social challenges and cultural perspectives of Eastern Europe.

In her letter of appreciation, she said,”Working with the Bella Abzug Leadership Institute has been a splendid experience for me and has expanded my opportunities in too many ways to count. I look forward to more opportunities to represent BALI to the domestic and international community and working with the girls, Liz Abzug, and Yu Wai Maung to perpetuate our mission goals and our message…. BALI has brought out the core of me“.
