GUEST SPEAKER
Kendra Simpson - My Story

Our guest speaker this week was our recent new member Kendra Simpson, born in South Africa but a true Citizen of the World. She gave a delightful presentation on her life story and life goals and a few slides from her presentation are replicated below which paints a picture of her more than a thousand words could do.As you can also see, she is a real wiz when it comes to PowerPoint.
