Caitlin Gowdy has spent most of her life hearing, playing, and living music. She began playing the violin when she was four years old and has studied with Li Lin since age nine. She has participated in various orchestras in both Southern and Northern California, and was the concert mistress for the nationally recognized Orchestra da Camera at San Domenico High School, which was the recipient of the Grand Champion award at the ASTA National Orchestra Festival for three years in a row. She was a winner of the Marin Symphony Youth Orchestra Competition in 2008, a participant at the Junior Bach Festival in 2011, and a five-time winner of the Marin Music Chest Scholarship. Outside of music, Caitlin has worked at Marin General Hospital, helping both patients and nurses in their surgical department, and has done research work with surgeons at Stanford Hospital. Caitlin co-founded Children in Need with her friend, Peggy, because she felt a desire to give back to the community that could provide her with the opportunities to succeed in her life. She wanted to help those who are not as priviliged as her in addition to spreading the joys of music all over the world. She plans to bring Children in Need to Stanford University, where she currently attends school.

Chang (Peggy) Cui, a junior at San Domenico School, has been seriously engaged in charity activities for over two years. In Grade 3, led by Ms. Alison Lim, a close friend of her mom's, Peggy went to Sun Village, Beijing, an orphanage for the children of convicts, and realized for the first time that some kids are not lucky enough to grow up with their beloved parents. In her visits, she brought them gifts such as stationary and accompanied them to festivals because their parents were absent. From a total stranger to a dear friend who they would love their pizza and stories, Peggy tasted the joy of helping others and grew into a positive and strong person like the kids there. She started participating in a broader range of service work, including assisting Jane Goodall in preparing her lectures in Beijing in October 2006. After she entered high school, she gathered friends who were interested in charity activies and co-founded "Children in Need".
