"I was 13 years old when I went to Nairobi, Kenya with my Youth Group to work with an organization called Made in the Streets. It was a life changing experience for me. In addition to learning so much about the needs of people thousands of miles away from my home, we had fun there with the kids at their school in Kamulu and made wonderful new friends," Jaime said.
He hopes to raise $4,000 to help the kids at Made in the Streets to go on their Christmas trip and buy food and clothing for the kids still living on the streets of Nairobi.
