[NEWS] THE SOFTER SIDE OF MILEY CYRUS

Miley Cyrus is on the move again. Last week, she headed to Nashville for a family wedding and brought her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth along with her. Now, Miley and Liam are in Haiti spreading a little love to children in the poverty-stricken country. This is the second trip to Haiti for Miley. She has been working with Starkey Hearing Foundation to help provide hearing aids to kids who would never be able to afford them on their own.

The young singer tweeted her arrival to the country on Tuesday, “In Haiti with @Starkey hearing.” The foundation responded with, “We are so lucky to have you here Miley.” This trip is most likely part of the winning package she won at a charity auction for the group earlier this summer. Back then she tweeted, “Going back to Haiti  . Just bid at the @starkeyhearing gala and it’s confirmed! I am so excited! Bringing all my friends this time. #blessed.” Miley followed through with her promise and brought her boyfriend and several other friends on her trip this time. That auction helped raise $7.2 million for the cause.

Miley met with President of Haiti, Michael Martelly shortly after landing in the country. The two joined together to open the Lully Community School in Arcahaie. Miley wore a comfortable t-shirt and black leggings for the event. She sat with some of the young students who will be fortunate enough to attend the school. Liam attended the school opening as well and beamed as he congratulated his girlfriend for all her hard work.

It is amazing to see how much good Miley really does. For whatever reason, she is not given quite as much glory and press as some other celebrities, but she does it all anyways. That is the best kind of charity giver, one who is not just trying to look good in the press. Her celebrity status is a bit tarnished in the United States due to some ultra-conservative views, but regardless of her teenage mistakes, she clearly has a heart of gold. Her attention to the cause will hopefully bring in more donations and possibly attract the attention of other celebrities.
