We love to see celebrities giving back to the world which has given them so much!
Pop star Nelly Furtado recently joined a non-profit volunteer arts organization, Artbound, on their first assignment to build Free The Children’s first all girls secondary school in the Maasai Mara region of Kenya.
High tuition costs in the region mean that less than 5% of girls will be able to attend high school and only 1 girl a year moves on to a college education.
You can watch Nelly’s journey unfold on Saturday, September 10 at 7 p.m. on CTV in the documentary Nelly Furtado: The Road To Kisaruni. Apparently, the experience really had an effect on her too, as she said:
“It was just extraordinary to be in Kenya and to meet all the people and to share music and celebrate art. I├óΓé¼Γäóm completely changed and really excited about the future. It├óΓé¼Γäós made me want to try harder as a woman, as a person, as a mother and as a citizen of the world.├óΓé¼┬¥
Aww! Tune in and check out more information on this wonderful initiative here!
