Drake Surprises High School Students With Donation

Strawberry Mansion High School located in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, U.S. is a troubled institution that is critically dysfunctional, unable to properly serve it's 450 students with educational needs and beyond, and was also named one of the United States most dangerous schools, where 96% of the students live in poverty. Earlier in the year the ABC Network aired a special news report with Diane Sawyer on the state of education, and was aired again December 5, 2013. Well, Drizzy Drake watched the report and was motivated to do something to help.

Drake recently travelled to Philadelphia to make a special announcement to the students at Strawberry Mansion High School....

There has been difficulties maintaining a head for the school which resulted in a change in the school's principle four times in as many years; the school drop-out rate is at an all time high which includes students dropping out and staff.

The Strawberry's music program did not have an instructor, so a student volunteered to teach! The school has various needs, and to start Drake has offered to build an on-site recording studio for the students, and promised the students he will be there for them. The North Star artist said "I caught this piece [report] that Diane did...and by the end of it I was so heavily affected that I started questioning major aspects of my life."

When the principle, Linda Cliatt-Wayman of Strawberry Mansion HS has to become a human "bell" through the speaker system because there is no bell - needless to say, the school needs help!

Big-ups to Drake for continuing to stay truth to himself throughout his success despite being called out as "soft" by peers in his industry and others for simply having heart.
