Hot Springs Student Wins Volunteer Service Award

LITTLE ROCK - A Hot Springs, Ark., high school senior who raised money and helped clean up debris after the 2011 tornado that struck Joplin, Mo., has earned a volunteer service award from the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service.

Ali Kinsey, who used flyers and Facebook messages to raise much-needed supplies and more than $500 for the victims of the tornado, is the winner of the 2012-13 Daniel Cayce Award for Inspirational Leadership in Public Service.

After delivering the funds and supplies, Kinsey and her family worked with Samaritan's Purse, a disaster relief organization, to help clean up debris.

A newspaper story about a young boy who died in the storm inspired Kinsey to act. In an essay, she wrote that the death of Will Norton was the determining factor that led her to travel to Joplin.
