Celeb Moms Who Make A Difference: Gwen Stefani, Sandra Bullock, and Madonna
Gwen Stefani is a giving celeb mom!
We all know that celeb moms are moms just like the rest of us. They deal with crying, fussy babies, temper tanturms from their toddlers, and then enjoy watching those toddlers develop into independent children. Being a mom is hard work, and a 24/7 job.
Yet some celeb moms deserve a standing ovation for their charitable work and for helping to make the world a better place to live.
Take for instance Gwen Stefani. Back in March, the singer/perfume designer/clothing designer (L.A.M.B.)/mom of 4-year-old Kingston and 2-year-old Zuma donated $1 million to Save the Children’s Japan Earthquake-Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund to help with recovery efforts in the devastated nation.
But she’s didn’t stop there. Last week, Stefani unveiled a limited edition Harajuku Lovers T-shirt through her band’s website, nodoubt.com. All of the proceeds from the sales of these shirts will also be given to help in Japan’s relief efforts.
Stefani recently told Us Magazine: “I’ve been inspired by Japan for many years and have a true love, appreciation and respect for the Japanese people and their culture…The disaster in Japan is beyond heartbreaking, and I want to do anything I can to help. I would never be able to make a gesture like this without the love and support of all the fans over all these years.”
Sandra Bullock, mother to 1-year-old Louis, was one of the first celebrities to help with the Japan tsunami relief by donating $1 million. You might remember that she also helped in the disaster relief efforts following Hurricane Katrina.
Madonna, mom of Lourdes, 14, Rocco, 10, David, 5, and Mercy, 4, has taken on a new project. She built a multi-million dollar all-girls school in Malawi, Africa. She recently said of the project: “Growing up in a privileged life, I took education for granted…but coming to Malawi has taught me a lot of things and (I have) learnt to appreciate what life gives. I realized how much they deserve to be educated and so for me the best thing I could do was to build a school, a unique school that will create future female leaders, scientists, lawyers, doctors and if this school is successful it will be used as a model to replicate it in other countries.”
