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.

Watch the video below -- and see what you can do to make a difference.

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!
