Models might be the faces of global fashion campaigns, but some are also becoming the faces of global charities. That's right, they do good things (and look good while doing it). Having lived through not-so-perfect lives in their pre-modeling days, they're trying to make the world a better place. Which makes it really hard to hate them. The Times delved deep into the world of do-gooder models and profiled a few beautiful ladies who are lending a helping hand or two.
Gisele Bündchen, maybe you've heard of her? She's the current good will ambassador for the U.N. Environment Program and protects rain forests in Brazil. Supermodel, Alek Wek is working on improving health conditions in Sudan and Natalia Vodianova, after helping to raise a disabled sister, set up her own organization, Naked Heart Foundation, which builds playground parks for Russian children.
The takeaway from all this? If these ladies, who have busy lives and families and fabulous parties to attend, can take time to make the world a smidgen better, you can probably haul your butt down to a soup kitchen or write a check. Sharing is caring, people.
