Kathryn Hutchens, Plenty Board Member and volunteer, teacher, singer/songwriter, peace activist, angel. Kathryn was a “people person” who got along with everyone, but she had a special way with kids who seemed to just love being around her. Note the smiles in this photo shot in the Mayan village of Santa Elena, Belize.

Kathryn’s work with Plenty was but one aspect of her charitable commitments. For years she worked locally in Lawrenceburg, TN with the Hunger Coalition. Her special expertise was peer lending as a means for women to lift themselves out of poverty. In this photo Kathryn is talking to a Mayan women’s group in Belize about ways they might employ peer lending in their villages.

Plenty has set up the “Kathryn Hutchens Memorial Fund” which is accepting donations to benefit women and children.
