This is amazing!
Drew Barrymore is donating $1 million to charity.
Of her own money!!!
The actress gave the gift on Monday to the World Food Programme (WFP) and the funds have been earmarked to feed thousands of schoolchildren in Kenya.
Barrymore announced her very generous contribution on the Oprah show.
Drew is a WFP ambassador against hunger and her gift kicks off the agency’s $3 billion “Fill the Cup” campaign that aims to feed 59 million hungry school children in developing countries for a year.
WFP hopes the United States will be able to donate enough money to feed 10 million of those children.
“I have seen with my own eyes what a difference a simple cup of nutritious porridge can make in a child’s life,” said the Barrymore, who has traveled to Kenya twice in the past two years for WFP. “It helps them learn, stay healthy and sets them on track for a bright future. I urge everyone — everywhere — to help WFP ‘Fill the Cup’ for hungry children, and make hunger history.”
Rock on, Drew!!!
