VRF Youth Ambassador Rachel Wims Fundraises for Students in Kenya

Upon her return from a recent humanitarian mission to Kenya, VRF Youth Ambassador Rachel Wims, 14; immediately began to raise funds to help complete construction of the science building at the Senator Obama Secondary School in Kogelo, Kenya.  The building lacked windows and a main door, subjecting students to the uncomfortable rain and wind that destroyed their work and books.  Through her leadership and dedication, Rachel raised $5,000 to aid in the repair of the school.  In addition, Rachel raised $500 to give a scholarship to  the highest academic  female achiever.  The scholarship will be an annual award for the school.
