Some of daytime television’s biggest stars—Montel Williams, Anthony Geary, Kelly Monaco, Susan Lucci and many more—were recently in Kenya where they participated in a compelling real-life drama. As part of “Daytime Gives Back,” these celebrities partnered with Feed The Children to bring critical relief to Kenyans struggling with chronic poverty, HIV/AIDS and pervasive child abandonment.
In Kenya, a child is abandoned every ten minutes. But these celebrities helped by personally rescuing babies who had been abandoned or who were in need of immediate, life-saving care.
Actor Erik Estrada and Frances Jones, founder of the Abandoned Baby Center, were able to rescue three precious babies from imminent danger. Montel Williams and All My Children star Susan Lucci were also able to save a helpless baby from a suburb of Nairobi, Kenya. The Abandoned Baby Center in Nairobi, Kenya, provides nourishing food, critical medical care and a loving home to these babies.
Feed The Children founder, Larry Jones, also just got back from Kenya. You can follow Larry on Twitter to learn more about what Feed The Children is doing to bring about meaningful change in Kenya—including critical assistance for its smallest and most vulnerable citizens.
Rescuing babies from the brink of death, equipping impoverished students for success, transforming whole communities through the gift of life-sustaining goats—it is all there for you to read about! Fact really is more interesting—and inspiring—than fiction sometimes.
