Kenna Raises Awareness with Lupe and JT

Singer Kenna has enlisted fellow artists Justin Timberlake and Lupe Fiasco to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro with him this fall to raise money for charity. They’ll be raising awareness for the water crisis. Kenna almost lost his father to the shortage of water in Ethiopia.

He tells Elle magazine, "My dad almost died as a child from waterborne diseases in Ethiopia, and he had talked to me about digging a well there, and I thought, 'I have too many friends who would be concerned with the subject of clean water. Maybe I can help out.'"

Lupe Fiasco insists he's ready for the challenge, "I'm an adventure junkie. Part of the motivation is beating Kenna to the top. Sabotaging his tent, taking the lining out of his coat, lacing it with ants or something like that." Source

Yet another cause that I’m sure most of us rarely think about.
