After spending three years studying chemical engineering at UC Davis, Niraj Vora was accepted into a competitive advanced software engineering program and became a full stack software engineer. Niraj Vora balanced his studies at UC Davis and Hack Reactor with his interest in sports, including the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League.
In addition to preparing for the 2016 season, several members of the 49ers recently volunteered at a philanthropic event in the East Bay area that was organized by a nonprofit called Convoy of Hope. The 49ers’ Vance McDonald maintained a relationship with the charitable organization after he and his teammates worked with the group to coordinate a trip to Haiti in 2015. During the three-day trip, the players met with families affected by the 2010 earthquake and supported recovery efforts in the country.
Inspired by this experience, McDonald has continued to work with Convoy of Hope and recruited his teammates to volunteer at the recent East Bay event, which provided community members with health screenings, groceries, employment services, and other resources. A number of Niners joined the effort, including Busta Anderson and Eric Reid.
