Major Hollywood players Denzel Washington, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner & hubby Ben Affleck are all supporting philanthropic ventures at the moment;
Denzel & Anne are hosting the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway. The main recipient of the evening is China's Liu Xiaobo who will not be able to attend as he's currently in prison for inciting subversion after he spoke out against the government, calling for democracy.
Matt and BFF Ben have both recorded PSA's for Feeding America, hoping to get more public awareness for the 49 million American's who don't get enough food each day, and this time of the year is particularly stressful on many communities.
Jen, however, was across the country announcing the opening of 6 new 'Save the Children' centres. As a mother of 2 this cause is particularly close to Jen's heart and works on many aspects of child development including nutrition, physical education, literacy & early education.
We hope that everyone follows their lead and gives something, what ever you can - $2 can make a difference! There are many people out there who are in need, so find a charitable organization and make someone's holiday season a little easier and brighter (personally, I give gifts to the Australian KMart Wishing Tree for underprivileged kids).
