Last year, crunk music pioneer and philanthropist, Lil Jon, assisted in opening a primary school in Ghana, Africa. Well now, Lil’ Jon has continued his efforts, opening a second primary school in the village of Mafi Atitekpo.
“Mafi Atitekpo DA Primary School” was finished in December 2017 and inaugurated in July. The school currently has 313 children enrolled.
Lil’ Jon’s first school, built in honor of his late mother Carrie M.Smi, enrolled almost 250 students, and now between both schools, over 550 young scholars are receiving an education.
According to Hot New Hip Hop, Lil’ Jon contributed $70,000 to construct the schools, in conjunction with Pencils of Promise, an organization that has helped build 492 schools with approximately 100,000 children enrolled.
In a statement, Lil’ Jon said, “Last year, I went with my family to open up my first Pencils of Promise school in Ghana, and now to have over 300 kids already enrolled in my second school there is incredible…It’s been really fulfilling to see the impact these schools have made on so many of these children’s and families’ futures.”
Lil’ Jon has been making huge moves, meaningful moves, in silence. Congratulations and much respect to the King Of Crunk!
