“I’m just a small girl who carries big dreams" - Helly once thought.
This thought came to Helly's mind when she was doubting herself and realizing the path that leads to her dream was full of difficulties and limitations. However, with the love from where she was born, the luck that she has gathered from every destination she went by and the touches from soul to soul, she has started to believe that little changes can also make big differences.
As a fundraiser, Helly is actively involved in many social fundraising programs and afforestation campaigns.
After a few years of dedication under the shirt of an activist, Helly has contributed impressive achievements to fulfill the dreams of the nature-loving community, made great efforts to improve the environment, school and life's hardships.
