Nelly Furtado donated a million dollars to the Free the Children charity, but it wasn’t just any million dollars!
It was the money she earned to perform for members of former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi‘s family:
She made this latest announcement Tuesday at a youth empowerment day organized by Canadian co-founders of Free the Children. Her donation will go toward building a girls school in Kenya and a Free the Children program supporting girls in the Middle East and North Africa.
She’s just one of many famous performers that played shows linked to Gadhafi. They too have promised to donate what they earned for doing so!
Fab!
We’re glad it went somewhere worthy, Nelly! So happy!
