Clay Aiken Visits With Survivors Of Mexico’s Floods For Christmas
UNICEF Ambassador and ‘American Idol’ season two runner-up Clay Aiken wrapped up the first leg of his trip to the flood affected areas of southeast Mexico by participating in a gift exchange and “sing along” with over 300 children and their families at a camp erected for flood victims on Tuesday (December 25).
“The situation in Chiapas and Tabasco has really become a forgotten emergency,” said Aiken, who became an ambassador for the children’s agency in 2004. “Telling the story of these brave people, especially the children, to a U.S. audience is the reason that I am here. Sharing this experience with my family during this time of year makes it even more special.”
The singer is traveling the state of Tabasco with his mother and younger brother through Wednesday. Torrential rains last month in Tabasco and Chiapas produced the worst flooding the region has seen in more than 50 years.
