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 $10,000 to aid in the repair of the Science Building for the school.  In appreciation of her dedication and continued support, the PTA named the building after Rachel.  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.
