Fearless initiative in Amsterdam in April but the trip has only just been made

non-profit organization on Monday showed Meghan hugging a delighted young

the teenagers.

statement released by Archewell: “Safe, supportive spaces like Project Fearless
allow girls the opportunity to express themselves, build each other up, gain
resilience and tackle new challenges.”

girls and non-binary youngsters aged nine to 14 the tools to succeed through
after-school courses, including, among others, climate science,
skateboarding, kick-boxing and entrepreneurship.
