INF Daily Celebrates the Ladies

March is Women's History Month and INF Daily is giving a much deserved shout out to the female celebs who have made a difference in our world. 

Firstly we'd like to spotlight Oprah, basically the queen of charitable deeds.  Oprah started her "Angel Network" in 1998 which has raised millions of dollars for everything from schools in Africa to Hurricane Katrina relief.  Oprah has truly inspired others to give back to their community, continuing with her new tv program Oprah's Big Give where contestants compete to give away money to worthy causes!

Oprah's hard to top but Angelina is right up there! Angie has been a Good Will Ambassador for UNICEF for the past couple of years and has traveled to several poor and developing countries. Angelina uses her status as a superstar to generate media coverage about the plight of refugees and the conditions under which they live. She has traveled widely to remote refugee camps and receiving centers in countries including Tanzania, Namibia, Cambodia, Pakistan, Thailand, and Ecuador.  And of course we all know her adopted children, Maddox, Pax and Zahara; three kids who got a second chance.

Of course there are other ladies making a difference.  Reese Witherspoon is a spokeswoman for Avon & UNIFEM (Women's Empowering Bracelet to End Violence Against Women). Drew Barrymore, inspired by Oprah, donated 1 million dollars to the World Food Program on her talk show.  Hayden Panettiere is saving the whales (again!), Jennifer Aniston works with St. Jude's Childrens Research Hospital and Jessica Simpson lends her efforts to Operation Smile.  But probably the best strategy for raising money?  Scarlett Johansson who is currently auctioning off a date with herself to a movie premiere, with the money going to the Oxfam hunger relief organization.

Keep up the good work ladies!
