R&B hitmaker Chris Brown took part in a special Reebok Unity campaign over the weekend in LA that saw him donate pairs of trainers to high school children in need.

The 'Don't Wake Me Up' superstar spoke to People magazine at the Los Angeles event, which took place at Crenshaw High School, and confessed that being able to give back is great:

"I used to have to borrow my cousin's clothes. So being able to come from that poverty-stricken environment and then being able to get out of it is what I tried to [do]. ... I just want to show the kids and have them have a better light of opportunities for them to do what they need to do."

Writing on his official Twitter page over the weekend (July 6), Brown told his followers that it was a great experience: "Thank you for allowing me to continue to inspire change in the world. Today was a great step forward! #UnityCampaign."
