I had the pleasure of speaking with 16 year old Abby Yoon from Greenville and 15 year old Kenzie Henson from Mount Olive. These young humanitarians are dedicating their life and their time to help those less fortunate and I was very impressed with what these two have achieved thus far! From feeding thousands of families during natural disasters such as Hurricane Matthew, Harvey and Florence and so much more, these young ladies are already on their way to being Future Leaders of America!
