The Jakafella Outreach
Foundation in Texas is a unique volunteer-driven organization that focuses
on the youth prolifering the streets of Michigan and Texas... thereby
exposing them to the dangers of bad influences... drugs, alcohol and gang
memberships. The number one tool we use is "Music".
We use other
mediums as well - writing, rapping...poetry. We entice them towards us
and be a part of art.
"The power of music overlaps with the power of friendship..."
Where there is
music, there is peace... where there's peace... there's friendship.
A promoter of the Arts, Jaqualeon has written a lot of
songs about his past life – how he rose from the streets
of Michigan to where he is right now, a successful
businessman.
He wrote a book about his past experiences and started
to reach out to the youth in the streets to enlighten
them – to make them see the world they’re bringing
themselves to… and possibly to encourage them to avoid
the pitfalls he was thrown into during his young days…he
found out this program works.
From the streets of Michigan to the hot alleys of Texas…
this Team forges the spirit of everyone to reach out to
those who needed help…
