Kiley Hart is an 18-year-old honor student from Windward School in Los Angeles.  She is a leader in many arenas:  sports, student government, peer counseling and community service.  Kiley has been a dedicated philanthropist all her life, working in the trenches of Tijuana, Mexico to feed and support the orphans of Baja since she was 13 years old.  As a young philanthropist, Kiley strives to combine her leadership skills as a grant writer, fundraiser and photographer, creating a synergy of talents to benefit those less fortunate.  She is an enthusiastic advocate, embodying the spirit of service and the passion of youth.  Kiley believes that service will raise the standard of living for those struggling in our society, alleviate their suffering and fill the void of many who feel disconnected from their communities.  
  In July, Kiley received a prestigious national award from NetAid, a New York based non-profit, to be a member of its 2005 Global Citizen Corp (GCC).   She has worked throughout her service career to elevate the lives of those she touches, and NetAid honors her commitment As part of her GCC goals and to bring awareness to the frightening 21st century global hunger crisis, Kiley developed a service/education program called Paint Out Hunger (POH). She created this program to help young people understand the complex and confounding roots of global hunger and to instill in students the belief that they are a powerful force of change and an integral part of the solution. The 2006 pilot POH program netted over $7,600 in 19 days and fed over 40,000 children in the world’s poorest countries.
 Kiley’s deep commitment to Corazon de Vida, the organization that strives to feed and support the orphaned children of Tijuana, has garnered over $70,000 in donations from sales of her moving photographs and her other Corazon activities.  Kiley plans to continue her philanthropic endeavors as an incoming freshman and Ben Franklin Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania in Fall 2006.
