Reilly Hollern
Club President, (W) World (P) Perspective (S) Solutions

Reilly is a student at Windermere Prep School and the President of the World Perspective Solutions (WPS) Club based in central Florida. WPS is a student-driven initiative that focuses on the bioremediation of harmful algal blooms as they are a local issue in Florida. This program is based on furthering student-led research, bringing awareness, and encouraging action. For instance, right now, WPS is based heavily on biodiversity, and the goal is to have students bring what they are learning in school right now to the project while being supported to go into depth with it.

Soul of a carpenter, Sofia Máximo currently lives in Torres Vedras and from an early age she has environmental concerns and a lot of dedication to social projects. Training Tourism and Heritage, it is in the knowledge about healthy and conscious eating that she fell in love, as well as the wonderful spontaneous herbs. Training in permaculture has given more meaning to her way of seeing the world and spreads these teachings in schools and “out of class”.

Volunteer in the most diverse areas, her mission is to pass on these values to her children, André and Eva.
