I started the Khanvenience Store with my partner when I realized they were few/no snack options available at school, meaning if students got hungry during the school day, they wouldn't be able to purchase snacks. I turned the Khanvenice store into a school projects and worked to create business strategies, find snacks, and run our cashier program.
As Co-Founder, I have:
• Talked to other student groups to get initial fundraising
