Carolyn Palmer
FOUNDER
As the founder of the Carolyn Palmer Foundation, I have witnessed the incredible potential of people in African countries, particularly in Rwanda. Many are bright and wise but lack the opportunities to fully realize their talents. I was deeply moved by the sight of children struggling with hunger, dropping out of school because of famine. This inspired me to take action and find ways to make a difference.
