Guests arrive at the Royal Courts of Justice in London for a dinner in aid of the Make-a-Wish foundation hosted by actor Samuel L Jackson, Aug 6, 2011
*Samuel L. Jackson was horrified on a recent charity trip to Africa after discovering every adult in one village had died of AIDS.
The actor, who set up the Samuel L. Jackson Foundation to distribute funds to worthy causes, was visiting the staff at Artists for a New South Africa, which works to help fight HIV and AIDS in Africa.
He told London’s Evening Standard magazine, “We found a village where there were no adults. All the parents had died of AIDS. The fathers would go off and work in the mines, solicit prostitutes, come back, sleep with their wives and infect them. They all died.
“Thirteen-year-olds were taking care of the kids; they didn’t have food supplies. So we found food, and some older women who had already raised their own families to come and take care of them. It’s kind of cool to find stuff like that. Stuff you don’t have to tell the world you’re doing – you just go out there and do it.”
That shit cray! On another note, it’s good that Sam’s foundation is contributing to a worthy cause.
Diddy are you listening? Instead of having your annual “white party”, you could do something to help others! “Bling-bling” on that!!!
Tha fuck? Puff Daddy does charity work/donates all of the time. Why are you mad this early in the morning and why are you singling Puff out?
I am not mad brother. I just get tried of hearing and reading about this fool’s annual “white party” and the extravagance spent to showcase it. I am not saying he is solely responsible for the ill’s of societies dilemma’s – but it doesn’t look good to constantly talk and show “bling” nonstop! There are several more fools I could have put on blast – but he is the eminent one highlighting his parties in The Hampton’s, consistently!!!
But who are you to tell Diddy how to spend “His” money? I’m pretty sure you don’t want anyone telling you how to spend your money that you earned yourself.
wouldn’t be great to round up all the knee-grows in the prison/jail, black-on-black offenders, welfare bunnies, fly them over there, take them on a tour to show them what hard ship is like and how their self/destructive behavior affects everybody.
Thank you, Black Butterfly. Fly across that nation and come back and tell what trouble you saw. Tell your sons and daughters………..SOS!!
