In a competition open to people between the ages of 13 and 21 Karen Ford (aged 19) was one of the winners of the Young Humanitarian award held by LIME (a telecommunications company) in the Cayman Islands.
Karen Ford went on a missions trip with Youth With A Mission to the Dominican Republic where she helped to build an orphanage, prayed with locals and Haitian refugees, ministered to children, acted out Bible stories, and more.
The winners of the award were honoured for the fact that they “could have easily chosen just to think about your own needs and all of us at LIME appreciate the fact that you used some of your free time this summer in such an unselfish way”.
