Everson, who serves as Facebook’s Vice President of Global Marketing Solutions, has long been involved in various animal and pet causes, as well as supporting her local hospital trying to prevent premature infant deliveries. But in August, after visiting Kenya, she was inspired to get involved with Free the Children in Kenya. Free the Children also works in India, China, Ecuador, Sierra Leone and Haiti. The founder, Craig Kielburger instills in his volunteers the idea that community service needs to be an important part in everyone’s lives. While in Kenya, Everson and her family helped Free the Children build a school.
“It was quite an extraordinary experience as a family, and I’m very hopeful that experience is the start of many future opportunities where, together as a family, we can give back.”
