Jessica Alba just went to Africa to shed light on her campaign to educate all children. When celebrities do human humanitarian work it draws attention to what they are working on and therefore causes viewers and fans to maybe become engaged in helping out for a good cause. I think that this is a really good was for celebrities to use their celebrity status in a positive way. A lot of celebrities including Oprah and Angelina Jolie do humanitarian work for different people around the world. Since they are high profile celebrities the activities they do are generally covered by the media and therefore read and heard about by many people.
I thinks its great that celebrities help out and get involved in charities, even if it is usually for PR reasons. Celebrities are role models and have a great deal of influence on people, they often are criticized for doing things which make them bad role models, so its refreshing to see them do something that will positively affect the world and influence people to get involved in giving back.
