Alyssa Milano is freakin awesome!

Ok so I know a lot of my posts are what could be considered negative, but I've read something today that made me have a little bit of hope. It came surprisingly from an actress named Alyssa Milano (Charmed, Romantically Challenged, Castle) she has been very active in several charity organizations to help those struggling around the world. Alyssa works with charitable organizations such as UNICEF and Charity Water and The Global Network For Neglected Tropical Diseases, she has helped raise large amounts of money to donate to these organizations as well as donating her own money. The article can be found here http://www.gatesfoundation.org/foundationnotes/Pages/alyssa-milano-101015-social-media-social-good.aspx Alyssa uses social networking sites like Twitter to spread the word about these charities and help to raise money. She challenged her twitter followers and corporations to meet her donation of $50,000 and that amount was met by different corporations as well as a large amount donated by individuals. These charities help to bring clean water to places like Ethiopia, and medical aid to those suffering from curable diseases which would not otherwise be treated. I'm happy to see that celebrities like Alyssa and others use their wealth to help those less fortunate, we could certainly use more like them. It's nice to see someone who has benefited in America reach out to others to help those in need instead of buying a new Lamborghini. You can follow her on Twitter @Alyssa_Milano, she tweets a lot but she does warn you in her info.
