2015 HALO Awards Honoree Spotlight: Ruchita Zaparde, "Sew A Future"

Ruchita Zaparde, 18, Plainsboro, N.J. has been named a 2015 Nickelodeon HALO Awards (Help and Lead Others) Honoree for her inspirational work with the non-profit organization Sew a Future, which provides sewing machines to widows with young children in rural India. After a family trip to India exposed Ruchita to the plight of widows and the difficulties they faced, she started Sew A Future to help those women achieve financial stability by becoming seamstresses. Zaparde identifies widows in need in India, delivers sewing machines and supplies, and connects the kids who are fundraising in the U.S. to the recipients. Over 200 families have been raised out of poverty with the gift of a sewing machine, thanks to the fundraising efforts of over 1400 students in 30 states. You can read a full bio, plus interviews with Ruchita and Jay Schmalholz, Senior Vice President (SVP) of events and live shows for Nickelodeon, here on NJ.com.

But after accidentally stumbling into his uncle's mysterious "tanning bed", Adam learns the answer to all of his problems – multiple Adams! With his new collection of clones, Adam is hopping on one wild ride with an epic splash! However, the situation soon spirals out of control when Adam starts feeling weak and learns that if he doesn't merge the clones back into himself, they could all be destroyed—including him!

High school is hard enough, especially when you're the new kid!
