TEENS TURN KINDNESS INTO ACTION 2 SISTERS MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE
When high school-aged sisters Nanette and Krystal Amihere saw people struggling in their community of Laurel, Maryland (just north of Washington, D.C.), they didn’t wait for someone else to step in; they took action. From a young age, Nanette and Krystal saw how small acts of kindness could create lasting change. Their mother, Christina, frequently supported communities in her home country of Ghana, and watching her generosity in action made a significant impact. Inspired to make a real difference, the sisters started CNK Health Services — named after their initials and their mission: Caring for the Needy with Kindness. STARTING SMALL Initially, their goal was to assist villages in Ghana by collecting and distributing essential supplies. However, as word spread and more people wanted to help, their project
expanded beyond their original vision. Krystal designed the organization’s website and logo, and both sisters worked tirelessly to spread the word on social media. As more people joined their cause, CNK grew into a team of dedicated youth advocates determined to make a difference. Before long, CNK Health Services was reaching villages overseas and families in their communities. THE PANDEMIC When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Nanette and Krystal realized their help was needed closer to home. Health care workers and senior citizens were among the most vulnerable, so they launched the “Let’s Make Masks” initiative. The sisters and their volunteers learned to sew from scratch. They made masks and thoughtful cards to show appreciation for frontline workers and isolated seniors.
Their efforts quickly gained momentum, with volunteers from across the country and overseas pitching in. To keep up with demand, they launched a GoFundMe campaign, raising funds for materials and expanding their impact. A LEGACY OF KINDNESS From creating school-based service clubs to continuing outreach in Ghana, Nanette and Krystal plan to keep growing CNK Health Services. Their journey proves that age is no barrier to making a difference — just a willingness to act.
