Diether Ocampo will be Santa? Wow

It is refreshing to hear of celebrities giving up as Diether Ocampo is doing. The other day on the radio I heard who the top ten celebrities who have given the most. Here is the list as obtained from http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/27779424.html 1. Oprah Winfrey — $50,200,000: The Oprah Winfrey Foundation and Oprah's Angel Network - education, health care, and advocacy for women and children worldwide. 2. Herb Alpert — $13,000,000: The Herb Alpert Foundation - music education, including the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. 3. Barbra Streisand — $11,000,000: The Streisand Foundation - the environment, women's issues, civil rights, AIDS research and advocacy. 4. Paul Newman — $10,005,000: Scholarship for Kenyon College, his alma mater, in Gambier, Ohio. 5. Mel Gibson — $9,899,654: Holy Family Church in Malibu, Calif. 6. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt — $8,400,000: The Jolie-Pitt Foundation - New Orleans reconstruction, refugee aid, cross-cultural understanding. 7. (tie) Lance Armstrong — $5,000,000: The Lance Armstrong Foundation - cancer research, education and advocacy. 7. (tie) Michael Jordan — $5,000,000: Hales Franciscan High School, a historically black all-boys school in Chicago. 7. (tie) Eric Lindros — $5,000,000: London Health Sciences Centre, a Canadian hospital where the former hockey player was treated. 10. Rush Limbaugh — $4,200,000: Financial assistance to the children of Marines and law- enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. Good on Diether and Oprah!

I think this is a good gesture for a celebrity like him. He's been pretty active in charities. I know he has a foundation for street kids. I'm sure he'll be getting a lot of publicity for this, but as long as he genuinely helps people, that's pretty admirable.

I already know that Diether Ocampo has a heart for the poor people, so this doesn't amaze me anymore. I am just happy that even if we rarely see him onscreen busy with his showbiz life, he still has the money to share to the poor. He really has a good heart and i do hope a lot more of our celebrities here as well as those in the rich society will continue to bring joy to the poor especially this Christmas season.

I agree that it is good to know that some celebrities can behave in ways like this. There are many out there that just care about themselves or just do things for the attention, especially from the media, which is what they want. But then there are others who truly do have a heart of gold and will help others out without a hidden agenda. We need to have more people like these.
