Alabama student Jai Varikuti's UNICEF campaign raises nearly $5,500 across six schools

Résumé détaillé

Jai Varikuti, a junior at Oak Mountain High School, did not set out to build one of the country’s most successful high school fundraising campaigns. He was watching the news during his freshman year when he saw children carrying jugs of water nearly as large as they were, a sight that stayed with him and pushed him to ask what he could do from Alabama, reported WBRC News. According to WVTM 13, that question led him to create the state’s first UNICEF chapter, an effort that has since grown to six high schools and raised nearly $5,500 toward a $10,000 goal.The campaign is now leading the nation among more than 600 high schools participating in UNICEF fundraising.
