    It's difficult to discover good people on the planet today. One look at tv and other media would suggest that the upper classes are wholly interesteded in peering into the mirror, and are totally devoid of interest in anything outside of their own self-aggrandizement. Isn't that the end result of cash? Corruption, down to the bones, and fame is definitely no aid either, as shown by reality television and the impact it has actually had on many people and families.

    Don't despair, though; there are lots of redeeming instances out there, amongst them Diana Jenkins. Philanthropist, activist, business owner, immigrant, refugee, and mother, Sanela Diana Jenkins has championed a host of causes for many years; at the heart of those causes is a belief in fundamental human decency and the significance of helping those in need-- as she herself was once significantly in need.

    When you think about Diana Jenkins, "foundation" is a world securely connected with her. Having actually founded the Irnis Catic Foundation, in memory of her brother, Jenkins is involved with perhaps the most famous and respected Bosnian foundation. Diana Jenkins is herself from Sarajevo, and became a refugee in 1992 after war erupted between Serbs and Croats. She has frequently worked with the Elton John AIDS Foundation board of directors to raise funds to fight AIDS.

    Just a couple of years ago, she helped release Room 23 by Diana Jenkins and Deborah Anderson, a collection of photographs illustrating celebrities in intimate scenarios in a single penthouse suite. The coffee table book, meant to be a book of art and representation, was released to raise funds for the Sanela Diana Jenkins UCLA human rights organization SDJIHRP.

    It's interesting to analyze how Jenkins leverages her wealth and celebrity, along with the star status of others, in an attempt to help others. It is not unfair to question the very idea of celebrity in our society; we appear to elevate others above ourselves almost due to the fact that we have to, because we want to. We want idols to praise and then pull down, and on the other hand people grow incredibly rich over our ever-expanding national obsession. melissa odabash swimwear

    Why be obsessed with these people, though? They're actors and actresses, mostly. A couple of scions of rich households, a few entrepreneurs, however nobody particularly unique. Wealth attracts us, for sure; this is America, after all, and cash is in our blood. More specifically, the need for wealth is, and we need to own up to that part of our nature. Yet in Sanela Diana Jenkins, we see the possibility for star to become something more.

    In Jenkins, we see the that celebrity does not have to be about the red carpet and wardrobe malfunctions; it doesn't have to have to do with who is dating whom, or the amount of so-and-so considers now. That's a sideshow, another sign of the decrease of our civilization. In Jenkins, we see celebrity that is made through helping others tirelessly, celebrity that doesn't mind benefiting from others if it is to the advantage of those less privileged. We see a celebrity that is noble. haiti relief groups
