The Pay It Forward Campaign
Donation protected
First off, I want to start by saying thank you for taking time out of your busy day to visit this page..
I will be traveling to Greece (Athens / Ancient Corinth / Sparta) in June promoting as well as performing with some of the countries top Hip Hop artist's ( The album "The Connection" will be released in June, portions of record sales and merchendise will go to the "Pay It Forward" campaign).
I will also be traveling to different orphanages and schools on a independent educational drive for less fortunate youth, also known as "Hook Up The Little Homies". In the past few months we have sent multiple care packages including school supplies and educational toys for children ranging from 6 to 16 years old.
Now we all know Hip Hop sometimes gets a bad rap (no pun intended), but to me, its always taught knowledge and empowerment within ones self no matter the struggle. With that being said, I want to use my rising notoriety to shed light on a subject that means a lot to me... The future, which are the children.
I am not asking for money for a trip or anything else that has to do with music and I want that to be clear. All projects are finished and this is strictly for the benefit of those kids in need. But it is still tough doing this alone and brings me to reaching out and simply asking for help.
"As part of Greece's austerity policies, salaries for teachers and educational funding have dropped rapidly. Students who can afford private tutoring may come to depend more heavily on tutors than teachers." (via www.dw.de)
Not only is this a way to help spread education and do something good for others, but it's also a chance to show people from other countries that we do CARE. Portions of this money will also be used for a food drive that we will be hosting as well in Athens.
"Many Greek lyceums have changed little in the past 25 years. The furniture and equipment is often straight out of the 1970s. One of the two chemistry labs at the Fifth General Lyceum is equipped with nothing but a work bench, several instruments and apparatuses, Bunsen burners and jars. Students sit on chairs or a work surface while observing experiments." - (via www.dw.de)
I want to say thank you again for taking the time to even read this let alone helping out and being a team player! Everything helps and we greatly appreciate any and all support.
