This is how I would redo the sentence:

I have become aware of our world’s diverse population by helping to enable a child in an impoverished country to attend school. I also organized field days with autistic children.

Or something like that. Shorter sentences can be more effective. If you have to work to keep track of the subject, that’s not a good thing. Your readers certainly don’t want to work that hard.
