Sophia Fan, the 17-year-old Maryland student who distributed more than 7,000 books in 4 years

Sophia Fan initiated Literacy Cycle at the age of 13, aiming to provide educational resources to children. The nonprofit has reached over 7,000 books distributed across multiple states and a chapter in Rwanda. Originally focusing on AP textbooks, it now accepts various types of learning materials. Fan plans to continue this initiative while studying public or global health in college.
