"Make a difference, one child at a time." This is the philosophy that Sylvia Allen, of Holmdel, N. J., has most notably embraced since she traveled to Africa in 2003 as part of a volunteerism trip with World Vision, and which she implores others to think about taking part in everyday.
A powerful businesswoman, published author and president of Allen Consulting, her own award-winning PR and Integrated Marketing Communications firm, which has arguably become a cornerstone in the reinvention of many of New Jersey's downtowns, Sylvia started up her own nonprofit organization Sylvia's Children six years ago.
She founded the philanthropic organization following a life changing journey to Masaka, a small village in the African country of Uganda, where she met hundreds of children who had been left only to their own devices after losing one or both of their parents to the devastating AIDS pandemic wreaking havoc on their community.
