I was watching Conan O'Brien last week, who is hilarious by the way, and he had Ben Stiller on. On this visit Ben Stiller started talking about his charity called "Stiller Strong" in conjunction with Save the Children. It kinda goes off the Zoolander character he portrayed who wanted to open the "Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too". He spent this past summer in a school in Haiti. He was able to spend time with them and get to understand their needs. The money raised will go towards helping the school in Ceverine to build much needed classrooms, employ teachers, pay for school supplies, etc.
It's great to see a celebrity getting involved in an area, where my family's from, that doesn't get as much attention as Africa. It's so close to the U.S. and has so much heritage and history. On the site, you also get to see some funny videos of Ben Stiller trying to plug his charity and his Stiller Strong headbands. A few are pretty funny!
There are a few really easy ways you can donate. You can text 'stiller' to 85944. A $5 one time charge will be added to your phone bill and it goes towards the charity. You can donate using Paypal or a credit card. You can also buy a headband. You can get one for $15, 3 for $40, a limited edition yellow one for $100 and the yellow with an autograph for $300.
