How the Teen CEO of Kids4Community Refuses to Let COVID-19 Stop Homeless Aid
Weeks ago, we interviewed Kenan Pala, the teen CEO of Kids4Community. He told us the inspiring story of how as a twelve year old walking on the beach, he saw a baby seal that was sick and in need. People were surrounding it with blankets, help and hope. A while later, he saw a homeless man on the sidewalk, even more sick and in need than the baby seal -- and not only was the man not receiving help, people were seeking to avoid him. He felt this was not right and immediately founded Kids4Community. That was three years ago, and now as the organization's CEO has moved their effectiveness along. Monthly they were making 2000 hygene kits, and 500 "bags of hope" for distribution. The group was conducting a school supply drive, and takes on disaster relief. They have focused recently on homeless dinner projects and more. All of this being done mostly by kids, just like Kenan. Then COVID-19 hit. Has that stopped Kenan? No. Today we find out what his NEW strategy is, adapting to the challenges of the current environment. We also have the latest on the roadmap ahead.... getting our society back to normalcy. With Co-host Brody Levesque.
