25-year-old Shin Fujiyama is one of CNN's Heroes: Fighting poverty one campus at a time. His organization, Students Helping Honduras, brings education and community projects to children and families in need through student service trips and fundraisers. He was inspired in college, after an eye-opening volunteer trip to Honduras, to make a different in whatever way he could.

Since 2006, he and his sister's grass-roots campaign to help Honduras has grown to 25 campuses and raised more than $750,000 to fund projects, including the construction of two schools and the establishment of scholarships to help young women attend college.
