Consequently he decided to start his own thing and launched Paikea Productions, an afterschool leadership program that aims to give students a voice by channeling their talents via filmmaking, photography, and writing. The goal was to give kids from complicated homes and backgrounds a place where they belong. “There are about 25 Paikea students, from fifth to 10th grade,” Jimmy explains. “Some of these lost their focus, lost what their dreams are, but thanks to Paikea they have changed their worlds...in ways they never imagined.”
