Drew Barrymore donates $1 Million

WFP Ambassador Against Hunger, Drew Barrymore, makes a big announcement and talks about her work with WFP on Oprah Winfrey’s US chat show.

Talk about a “big give”: Drew Barrymore announced on Monday’s Oprah Winfrey Show that she is donating $1 million to the World Food Programme to help feed children in Africa.

“I have seen with my own eyes what a difference a simple cup of nutritious porridge can make in a child’s life,” the actress said. “It helps them learn, stay healthy and sets them on track for a bright future.”

Barrymore, 33, has worked with the charity since 2005 and became an Ambassador Against Hunger last year. She’s taken two trips to Kenya to see the organization’s work first hand.

“We have a dream … to feed another 10 million hungry school children in Africa by Thanksgiving Day,” said WFP Executive Director Josette Sheeran, who also appeared on Oprah.

It is nice to see such involvement from the celebrities for social causes, except some fashion shows. However , I prefer those who choose to keep silence when doing such charity acts and not brag about them on TV. Of course. I don’t blame the ones who do so.
