Christina Aguilera has turned a new philanthropic leaf after becoming a mother.
She has said that having her son Max inspired her to get involved with helping underpriveleged kids.
Said Christina:
“After I became a mom, I felt passionate about the fact that no child should go hungry. Food is not a luxury.”
Christina has become an ambassador for the UN’s World Food Program (WFP), which helps encourage self-sustainability throughout the world. She├óΓé¼Γäós helped raise $12 million for the organization.
“I’ve seen swollen bellies and hair that’s turned white from lack of nutrition, and yet some of the people I’ve met have such optimism; it’s incredible. One kid in Haiti was telling me how he adores school. He never misses a day, he dreams of becoming a doctor. That sort of thing makes you want to work that much harder for those kids who truly want to succeed and rise above whatever they’re going through.”
So inspiring! We love seeing celebs give back!!
