It was Susan who first approached CJFE about raising funds for Pikin News. "Pikin News: Out Loud!" will not only showcase the incredible stories of its contributors' generation, but will raise funds to sustain their project and build upon their skills as young journalists with unique voices to share. Funds will help provide Pikin News with the equipment and training its contributors need.
