Meet the Founders

---

Hi everyone, my name is Amogh Pai, and I'm a senior at GLHS. I like to run and play the saxophone in my free time. Some of my passions are cooking and collecting stamps. Coming from a pretty unknown middle school I know how hard it can feel to adjust to new environments. As such I've made it a goal of mine to make both my and other schools more inclusive for people struggling to assimilate. I hope that F4F accomplishes this in a unique way that is not "administration led" but rather by the students for the students.

My name is Nicolas "Nicky" Bakalov, a 17-year-old from Cary, North Carolina. The COVID-19 pandemic was a challenging time for me, leading to struggles in school and personal well-being. To turn things around, I focused on healthier habits like eating well, working out, meditating, and spending more time outdoors. Through Friends For Foreigners, I hope to use my experiences to support others, just as my friends helped me during tough times.

 Hello everyone! My name is Augusto Catalano Lazzaro. I assist to Green Level High School as a student, I'm in my senior year, and I'm willing to share my knowledge with others! I like to swim and play the saxophone in my free time. I'm from Argentina and I moved to the US two years ago. I have a native knowledge of Spanish, as I have been speaking it my whole life. I also have a proficient and fluent understanding of the English language.
