Mischa Barton became ambassador for Save the Children, and this year went away for several weeks as part of the Rewrite the Future campaign. Several celebrities joined a special board for this campaign, whose aim is to help children in war zones and conflict-affected areas. It helps children gain access to education in a safer environment.
Mischa visited a small poverty-striken area of South Africa outside Johannesburg. The town she visited is called Soweto.
Mischa had this to say:
“I visited a primary school in Soweto, where a lot of the children are orphans and there is a high incidence of AIDS. I helped prepare and serve lunch to the children; it’s just simple maize and for many it’s the only meal they get. We chatted and I took part in their class. They are heartbreakingly beautiful children. I feel so privileged that I could just meet [the children] and hope to make a difference!”
