For anyone that doesn’t know Hugh Jackman, he is an Australian actor that is blowing everyone away - from “sexiest man alive” by People.com to hosting the academy awards back in February.  All that may impress anyone, but judging by the tweet above made Monday - Hugh has a HUGE heart.  I can sit here all day and tell him why Mothers Fighting For Others is the perfect non-profit organization to donate the $100,000 to but the truth is, when all is said and done, that any organization will be lucky and what counts here is the fact that he is making a difference.

Some of us have the oportunity to donate time and sweat, others can donate money - I ask you to reflect on the fact that you have the ability to make that difference and the world will reward you for your efforts.

But since I’m here and Hugh Jackman is asking us to convince him - let’s show him what MFFO is all about.  Rocky Turner, the founder and brain behind all of this couldn’t have said it better when she wrote these words:

HOW IT STARTED

with a very simple mission:

Mothers Fighting For Others is dedicated to providing orphans and vulnerable children with opportunities their parents would have provided, if they only could; a loving and nurturing environment and a quality education, so they can learn, thrive and achieve their highest potential.

and 2 ongoing projects:

Inspire The Child:

Inspire the Child is the future of Mothers Fighting For Others. We want to to continue to grow and continue down a path to help and educate orphans around the world, starting with Kenya. This is just our beginning.

Underwear for Africa:

Underwear for Africa is a ongoing project that seems silly to some but necessary to others. Underwear is something that we take for granted, while others see it as a luxury. We have witnessed it first hand in orphanages and IDP camps, where happy faces meet us as new underwear is passed out.

Rocky is also on her way right now to Kenya to find land to build an orphanage - there have been tweets all day to @RealHughJackman trying to convince him to at least meet with Rocky at Heathrow Airport in London - please join me in tweeting and retweeting reasons why you think MFFO.org is the right organization for those $100k.

I also urge you to look through the pages of this site that will take you to the lives of each one of these orphan girls, will also show you all the volunteers involved, all the people that are constantly helping and donating and how grateful we are to the universe for giving us the power to make a change for the better.

Good for Hugh Jackman.  I love how the stars are figuring out how to use twitter and facebook to do good.  You too.

Totally agree Sally - I don't think it's for publicity either - I want to think it is true and legitimate willingness to make a difference.

Hi Ines,

Wow, this is so interesting and wonderful at the same time. Wouldn't it be amazing if other celebs participated in a similar way? Not only is this going to help financially for the winner, hopefully it will also showcase lots of other deserving organizations.

Thanks for the heads up mojito lady.

Ines, this is such an awesome show of support for our beloved MFFO's and Rocky!  I am not great at Twitter but I need to check in and see how Rocky is doing as she said that is the best way to follow her during her trip.  Thank you so much for this wonderful post.  I wish more had read it!!!
