St. Peter’s Health Partners, WNYT-NewsChannel 13 and the Times Union have once again teamed up to “uncover” and honor youth in the Capital Region whose volunteer work touches the lives of our residents and improves the quality of life in this area.
The program, “13 Kids Who Care,” is now in its 21st year of recognizing truly exceptional kids who cast a bright light on our future.
Meet Abeer Jafri, a 12th grader at Albany Academy for Girls, and a member of the 2019 class of “13 Kids Who Care.” Abeer’s volunteer efforts throughout the community, from St. Peter’s Hospital to her local library and within her faith community, and far away places like the Dominican Republic, truly sets her apart as a “kid who cares.”
