Usher Teams Up With The U.N.
Apr 25
Usher is teaming up with the United Nations to fight malaria in Africa.
The R&B star along with the U.N. have launched the ‘Nothing But Nets’ campaign, which encourages younger people to be more pro-active and make a difference in global issues.
The initiative aims to raise money to prevent children in Africa from contracting malaria by providing more mosquito nets. Its a project that Usher feels is very important.
“I am proud to be a part of an exciting partnership with the United Nations Foundation and its Nothing But Nets campaign. This initiative sends an important message: youth, regardless of their backgrounds, can make a difference in this world by taking action through service to save lives. Anyone can make a difference. All it takes is $10 to send a net and save a life.”
Usher follows in the footsteps of Jay-Z who also worked with the United Nations for ‘The Water For Life’ campaign.

The event will encourage fans to visit mobile blood banks around the arena to donate blood and see if they are a match for Jasmina Anema.

Lupe Fiasco and singer Justin Timberlake are set to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in a bid to raise money for charity.
The pair were recruited by pop star Kenna to climb the mountain this coming autumn.
Joined by a team of adventurers, the rapper and singer will attempt to overcome the 19,000-foot African peak to raise money and awareness for the worldwide water crisis.
Its a challenge Lupe intends to make into a race.
“I’m an adventure junkie. Part of the motivation is beating Kenna to the top. Sabotaging his tent, taking the lining out of his coat, lacing it with ants or something like that.”

According to bossip.com, Whitney Houston is being paid $2.78 million for an hour’s performance at a charity event in London.
The organisers feel its important to have high profile celebs like Whitney to raise the profile the Cauldwell Children charity. She is being invited by billionaire philanthropist John Caudwell.
‘Mr. Caudwell thinks it is important to raise the profile of the Cauldwell Children charity and stars such as Whitney Houston are the sort of people he’s hoping to attract.’
Apparently Whitney has a history of not turning up for appearances.
She better not be late for this one!
The event happens in May
