We usually see celebs looking glam and strutting their stuff on the red carpet. But these famous teens always find time in their busy schedules for heaps of charity work. Here’s how they’re changing the world, one step at a time…
Isabel Lucas
Aussie Actress, Age 19.
Isabel plays the role of tasha Andrews on the TV show Home and Away. At only 19 years old she won a Silver Logie for Best New Talent. But it’s not all celeb glamour and award shows for this starlet; Isabel’s also passionate about helping the less fortunate.
“It’s very rewarding for me to be able to do charity appearances”
Isabel sponsors two girls in Africa through World Vision; Mary in Uganda and Asanath in Kenya. She even dedicated her Logie to her two new friends! “We always had sponsor children in my family,” Isabel says. “I thought, as soon as I get my own pay, I’m going to have my own (sponsored) kids. That’s who I dedicated my Logie to. I’d love to go over there one day and meet them, and so some sponsorship things – not only for sponsor children, but I’d love to do something for World Vision or Greenpeace.”
Isabel also flashed her pearly whites as an ambassador for National Smile Day. She helped raise money for the Clown Doctors who are dedicated to bringing smiles to sick kids everywhere! “It’s very rewarding for me to be able to do charity appearances,” Isabel says. “If you have that public image I think it’s really important to use that.”
