WRAL's Linda Loveland Interviews Clay About Mexico Trip With Unicef

Linda Loveland of WRAL in Raleigh sat down recently and interviewed Clay about his trip to Mexico with UNICEF to work with the children there affected by the recent floods. In addition to a great article at WRAL.com, there is also a video of Linda's interview with Clay which shows footage of Clay with the children in Mexico.

Clay talked about how so many of the children do not have shoes and have to walk on contaminated ground; in fact, many of the children want nothing but shoes for Christmas. In addition one of the things that amazed Clay was as follows:

Aiken said one of the most amazing things he witnessed was when kids ran up to him, hugged him and pointed at his shirt – not because of who he was, but because of what was written on that shirt, “UNICEF.”

“How powerful that is, that kids all around the world know what UNICEF means, and they see that T-shirt,” he said.

After you enjoy the article and video of the interview, check out the slide show of 49 pictures that are also at WRAL's site. These include pictures from early in Clay's career as well as some from his recent summer concert in Cary.
