Oprah - the Humanitarian for education, women and children.Why you must join her
Education has been a huge factor in Oprah's youth and adulthood. Her grandmother and father instilled the virtues of receiving an education when she was very young and during her formative years. She excelled in school, particularly in oral skills. We all know now how important this early development regarding communication has served her so well in her earlier career and as a beloved TV host. Her success as a television personality created the wealth that allows her to be the force she has become as a humanitarian.
Those who watch her show often hear her say that she truly believes that education is the "door to freedom". Her "The Oprah Winfrey Foundation," has awarded hundreds of grants to various organizations to further the work they do towards educating and "empowering" (a word Oprah uses a lot), children, women and families in not only the U.S.A., but around the world as well. In total she has contributed millions of dollars for students who have "merit" but very little opportunities to be educated because of lack of supplies, clothing, shoes or schools. In her effort to help internationally in the "empowerment" of children to receive quality education, she has developed "The Oprah Winfrey Scholars Program". This program is an international scholarships program that encourages the students who receive the scholarships to become educated and then to use what they have learned to give back to their communities. Her gift of education extends in this manner to not only the scholarship recipient but to those that person reaches out to in their community after receiving the education. In this way Oprah's humanitarian efforts are multiplied many times over with each single act of kindness and generosity.
In December of 2002 Oprah's humanitarian efforts included the ChristmasKindness South Africa tour that enveloped in her generosity over 50,000 South African children who received athletic shoes, clothing, gifts, toys and school supplies like books, libraries and teacher education. In all sixty-three rural schools were made a part of this particular humanitarian effort. The tour lasted 21 days and included school parties for the children to have a celebration and experience real joy and wonder.
Oprah established "The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation", to which she has contributed over $40 million towards its creation. This academy is for girls in South Africa and opened in January of 2007. This project is a special "heart-felt" project for Oprah and one she speaks of often on her show.
Oprah's shows have touched countless people of all races and sex such as her 1997 episode where she asked viewers to use their lives to make a difference in the lives of those around them. This show led to the creation of one of Oprah's public charities: "Oprah's Angel Network", founded in 1998. This network has raised over $50 million with 100% of her audience contributions going to non-profit organizations all over the world. The money raised through this network has been used to build youth centers, build homes, and to establish scholarships. It also is used to establish new schools, as well as to support women's shelters.
Oprah understands the power of our legislative format here in America. In her committment to bettering children's lives she led the way for the "National Child Protection Act of 1991, when she testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. She explained the need for a national database of convicted child abusers. Her plea came from personal experience with the pain and suffering children experience at the hand of those who abuse them. President Clinton signed the national “Oprah Bill” on December 20, 1993 and it became law.
