Hilary Duff Heads To Colombia For Charity Work

duffpt4080309_01_X17.jpg She may not be an amazing actress, but she's definitely an amazingly generous human being!

Hilary Duff took her "Blessings in a Backpack" program to Colombia yesterday to donate 3,000 bags of food to needy children in a school district south of the capital city.

The actress plans on spending three days visiting children and participating in a vaccination campaign, and she tells Access Hollywood, "We've been working for four years feeding children over the weekends. They invited us to come here, and we got our first school in Bogota."

"Blessings in a Backpack" serves 106 schools and 26,000 children in the U.S. and Canada.

When you're an actor getting bad press at home, go abroad and feed a starving child. Then you can up your next quote.

What a world.

As of 2005 she gave over $300,000 to help feed people in New Orleans and in the school programs. Amazingly beautiful person, actress, singer, everything, too.

Who says she's getting bad press? And even if it is for publicity (IF it is) what are you doing to contribute besides negativity and cynacism?

2:32, you're an idiot with your immature caps and exclamation points and ppppppp. Defensive much?

1:29 hit the truth. Duff seems to have made sure that everyone know about her pathetic charity work.

"the most AMAZING ACTRESS AND SINGER AND ROLE MODEL..........."

Too funny. This has got to be planted by Duff.

And she spent 3 whole days of her life handing out food? Why, she's another Mother Theresa! Although HD might say she's better because look at how ugly Mother Theresa was!

She is pathetic and so are the planted comments above.

Sorry but you're very delusional. Hilary has ALWAYS supported charity programs & has been behind Blessing In The Backpack for QUITE A WHILE now. She went to Colombia to introduce the charity program to the country & spread the word. OF COURSE she'd be all over press.

First Aug 15 3:34 COLOMBIA IS AMAZING AND IS NOT ONLY COCAINE... PLUS IT HAS BEOCME SAFER OVER THE YEARS SOO SHUT UP AND STOP CRITICIZING OTHER COUNTRIES THAT YOU REALLY DONT KNOW

I agree Hillary has a good heart and I believe she has been a great example for girls. At least she is doing good for the poor and not spending her money in drugs as other actresses of her age
