Screen shot 2011-07-31 at 7.27.53 PM.pngLast week we told you all about model Flaviana Matata's foundation to help young Tanzanian women -- which, by the way, we think is incredibly inspiring and amazing. 

This week, the gorgeous young Tanzanian woman is back on our radar -- and not just because she's wearing a Sherri Hill design! 

(See Flaviana in Sherri Hill at left.)

Usher's New Look Foundation, which was established in 1999, certifies young people in four leadership pillars - talent, education, career and service - to help them on their roads to success as leaders throughout the world.

This year, the World Leadership conference took place in Atlanta, and Flaviana showed up to lend her support and encourage America's rising generation of young leaders. 

Kudos to Flaviana - and everyone involved in the UNLF - for making a difference.

Check out behind-the-scenes footage of Hailee Steinfeld, the Oscar-nominated actress from "True Grit," as she poses for a photo shoot highlighting celebrities who make a difference.

Steinfeld, who is just 14, advocates for the No Kid Hungry Campaign. She urged her fans to take her message to social media platforms. 

"If a bunch of kids are writing a status about No Kid Hungry, then everybody kind of knows about it," Hailee implored.

Modern Family's Sarah Hyland was at the shoot with Hailee. Hyland is involved with The Lopez Foundation, a charity for children on dialysis.

Screen shot 2011-07-24 at 7.56.48 PM.pngFlaviana Matata, the gorgeous Tanzanian beauty queen and model, recently launched the Flaviana Matata Foundation -- a group aimed at helping underprivileged girls and women in Tanzania, the country where she was born and raised. 

The foundation is also a tribute to Flaviana's mother, who was one of 800 people to die in a tragic 1996 ferry accident. 

"I am here today not as Flaviana Matata but as a young person with a vision to stimulate a cause that I hold very dear," she said, according to AllAfrica.com. "It's been 15 years since my mother's passing and I miss her dearly. I am happy to say, I have been raised by my father and the community in general."

We think Flaviana's cause is one that's worth fighting for. And we're honored that Flaviana wore this sparkling Sherri Hill dress at the launch event. 

Congrats to the brave young woman. We'll keep you posted as to what you can do to help the Flaviana Matata Foundation thrive!

Screen shot 2011-05-08 at 2.34.00 PM.pngThis year marked the 16th anniversary of Harvard's annual Eleganza fashion show -- which raises money for Boston's Center for Teen Empowerment. 

The yearly event aims to promote multiculturalism, diversity, and artistic expression through fashion, dance and theater -- and it's one of the school's biggest events. This year, the fashion show raised more than $5,000 for a great cause! 

So it's no surprise that a Sherri Hill gown made an appearance at the event. Check out Sherri Hill style #2434 rocking the runway, at left. 

Congrats to the group for your success!! 

Japan needs our help!

japan+earthquake.jpgOn Friday, as most of you are probably aware, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit Japan -- and triggered an enormous tsunami just nine minutes later.

(An image of Japan after the wreckage, at left.)

A 9.0 magnitude earthquake is incredibly powerful -- and between that, the tsunami (which pretty much washed away entire neighborhoods) and the ensuing problems related to the country's nuclear power plants, Japan is really devastated right now. If you can, try to send a few dollars that way!

Check out this story for a helpful list of organizations that are making it super easy to donate a few bucks. (Even Apple has joined the effort -- ingeniously, through your own iTunes account.)

Newly-crowned Miss World -- aka the 18-year-old Alexandria Mills -- is already traveling the globe to fulfill her duties as the queen: The Louisville, Kentucky native recently made a trip to Manila, Philippines, to visit young cancer patients at the city's Ospital ng Makati.

Mills made the trip with Botswana's Emma Wareus, who was first runner up to Mills in the recent Miss World competition, and the two visited with two young boys who have Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). We hope they were able to provide some cheer and company to the young patients.

Keep up the good work, ladies!

Twilight audiences may know her as Alice Cullen, Edward's innocent vampire sister, but actress Ashley Greene is known in PETA circles for her support of Avon, an animal-friendly makeup company. 

PETA's "Kind Choices Award" was bequeathed unto Greene for her compassionate decision to represent Avon, which led the cosmetics industry by ending all tests on animals and is widely recognized for its commitment to a cruelty-free testing policy."

Greene was also cited for being a role model to millions of young Twilight fans: PETA's Vice President of Laboratory Investigations, Kathy Guillermo, said that Greene's decision to support makeup companies that don't use animal testing is "encouraging millions of Twilight fans and other young people to choose makeup that's fun, not fatal."
 
Congrats to the young Twilight star for choosing to be a good example to her fans.
