Gisele Bundchen is helping fight AIDS in Africa with a photoshoot in the March issue of Elle Magazine.
The World’s Highest-Paid supermodel is pictured in a series of poses supporting (Red), which generates money for AIDS awareness and prevention programs in Africa through partnerships with retailers like Converse and Apple iPOD.
“I grew up in a country strongly affected by poverty. On street corners you see kids doing things on the wrong side of the law.”
“The face of suffering isn’t an abstract thing for me, and I’ve always said to myself that if I could do something to help, I would.”
The photoshoot is being carried in 30 editions of Elle Magazine.
Actress has vowed never to speak about her father's death, but changed her mind for AIDS orphans in Africa
Oscar winner Charlize Theron broke her vow to never speak about her father’s death when she met children orphaned by AIDS in Africa. Theron was just 15 years old when she watched her mom shoot her abusive father in self defence.
Theron had said she will never talk about that incident in public but opened up to children at the AIDS testing and counselling clinic that she helped fund in Kwazulu-Natal, reports contactmusic.com.
Theron said: “These kids deal with death every day. Many of them do not have one or both parents, and I thought talking about my father was a way for me to say, ‘Whether you have one parent or zero parents, you can turn that negative into a positive.’ My father had a horrible disease.
He was an alcoholic. I could have been one of those adults who go through life not taking responsibility and saying, ‘I didn’t have a good example of a father.’
But actually, I had the best example. I had the example of what not to do. It was up to me to choose a life and to live that life,” she added.
