What is a DIVA with out a Foundation???

Like Beyonce's song explains, I do believe the definition of DIVA is a hustler but there is more to hustling then material gain. A DIVA is also an advocate for good cause, a person who is willing to step out and help someone else. There are so many ways to give back whether that be in our church, communities, country or giving as a nation. That includes Breast Cancer Awareness and promoting self exams. HIV/Aids awareness and prevention. Supporting and promoting charities like RED, Global Fund To Fight Aids Tuberculosis and Malaria, GreaterThan.org, Campaign For Cancer Prevention, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Save The Children Fund and many other great charities. We are all in a position to help in some way or another. Spread the word and educate and/or donate money to support these great causes. We are Power in Numbers. Lets take a stand and stick together for what's right.

The latest problem that is striking many nations around the world is the shortage of clean drinking water. Without water it is impossible to survive. Countries like Haiti are suffering because there is not enough water to go around. Only months after being devastated by the earthquake, Haiti is now in the grip of a deadly Cholera outbreak. Cholera is a waterborne disease that spreads extremely fast and is very lethal. People can die in as short as four hours. There are groups like The International Medical Corps and Project Medishare for Haiti that are responding to the needs and setting up mobile clinics and tents to create a perimeter around the contaminated zone. Any monies sent to charities working directly in Haiti would be wonderful.

I also have a foundation that helps raise money for clean water where 100% of your money will go to fund these projects in developing nations. My foundation is called, Diva Foundation Inc. and you can donate by going to http://www.mycharitywater.org/miamidiva

Thank You All in Advance and please continue doing Greater Works!
