Underwood combats malaria in Africa
Monday, May 11, 2009 – Carrie Underwood made her second trip to Africa earlier this month visiting orphanages and health centers near Luanda, Angola where she participated in the area's cause to help fight malaria. Her visit was part of American Idol's "Idol Gives Back" charitable endeavors and a special video package will air on American Idol Tuesday, May 12 to help show viewers how their donations have helped with various relief programs.
While in Angola, Underwood visited an all-girl orphanage in Luanda where the girls performed songs and poetry for her after she delivered bed nets and backpacks with school supplies to the orphanage. Underwood also participated in a community bed net giveaway in Ngangula, and wrapped up her three-day trip by visiting a health center in Luanda where pregnant women received malaria counseling and treatment.
American Idol and the Charity Projects Entertainment Fund partnered last year to raise awareness and funds for organizations that provide relief programs to help children and young people in extreme poverty in America and Africa. ExxonMobil sponsored Underwood's most recent trip to Africa.
