The Inspiration
A Bridge from Palo Alto to Kyiv
AnchorPages began with a single student named Yeva. Every week, we would meet over Zoom—I was in my room in California, and she was navigating the reality of life in Kyiv.
When that message arrived, I realized that education during wartime isn't just about grammar—it’s about presence. In moments when the sirens start and the lights go out, a consistent mentor serves as an anchor.
Today, Yeva has achieved a dream she once thought was impossible. She is attending university, studying foreign languages, with the goal of becoming an English teacher herself.
AnchorPages was founded to ensure that war does not have the final say in a child’s education. We connect students across the globe to ensure every student has an anchor.
