See I admire that quality that some human beings have to not be complacent...
the Ethiopian model Liya Kebede is the perfect example of that...
We all know her for her beautiful signature face and her career in fashion.

she could have just settled on having a satisfying career , a beautiful son & hubby and $$..
But she wanted more than that, she wanted to give back to people who have less than her.
Alarmed by the high rate of death of women during pregnancy and child birth she decided to set up the LIYA KEBEDE FOUNDATION...which goal is to reduce "maternal newborn and child mortality and to improve the health and well being of mothers and children around the world"...
This summer she travelled to her homecountry of Ethiopia with the WHO to see herself the problems and the solutions being slowly implemented...
