Hyla Alrajab

Leader | Yorba Linda chapter

Hi! My name is Hyla Alrajab and I'm excited to be a part of Project Ready Set Read. I enjoy reading, drawing, painting, and hanging out with friends. I also do Martial Arts which I am very passionate about. In the future, I hope to major in biology and go to medical school.

About Hyla's chapter: Through joining Project Ready Set Read, I hope to enhance the reading and writing skills of children in my city. In my chapter, I plan on preparing exciting activities that engage the students and cover the curriculum at the same time. By asking the children what types of activities they would prefer, I will be able to cater to the needs and wants of the children. This ensures that our monthly meetings are enjoyable for all the children!
