Season 1 Episode 2: The Bag Project is Entrusted to embrella
After working in various areas of child and family services, Anupa Wijaya saw the urgent need for children separated from their biological homes to have items that they could call their own. So, after a 3AM spark of inspiration, she spent seven years spearheading the operations of The Bag Project, a grassroots nonprofit that provides emergency bags to youth and adolescents. Eventually she knew it was time for The Bag Project to move to the next level with an organization that could give it even more time and effort.
