Will & Jada Pinkett Smith's Kids Are Ambassadors For AIDS Charity

First Posted: 03/18/10 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 03:15 PM ET

Smith Kids

It's good to know that Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's hyperactive sex life leaves them with enough time to impart altruism upon their actor children.

Willow and Jaden Smith have signed on as youth ambassadors Project Zambi, a global initiative dedicated to helping kids orphaned by AIDS in Africa.

Says Willow, age 8: "Even from the other side of the world, kids in Africa will know they have friends who care about them." Her brother, Jaden, 11, wants to "represent all the kids out there who want to make the world a better place."

A ten-day online auction of celebrity-autographed Hasbro baby elephants began Monday.

Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson, Alicia Keys, Jessica Simpson and a bunch of other celebs have also signed onto the project. Whose autographed elephant will raise the most money for charity? Right now DiCaprio's is winning with a $400 bid, and Willow and Jaden's is going for $167.50, beating Jessica Simpson's $95 bid.

You can bid on the elephants and see which celebs are fetching the highest bids here.

This is great. Every parent should get their kids involved in helping out people who need it. This is how compassionate citizens are made.

Cute kids! But besides having Will & Jada as parents, exactly what qualifies them for this?
03:29 PM on 10/07/2009
Why would anyone need to meet qualifications to do a good deed? They are children of celebrities that's enough of a qualification. Can't just people be glad about hearing news like this? Instead they want to rip it apart and make stupid childish comments.

Having Will and Jada as parents is one reason they are "qualified for this position" and
their ages. YOUTH AMBASSADORS.
Celebrities bring Press Coverage.

More publicity = more awareness = more donations = more volunteers = A Successful Endeavor
and a Beginning.

It is so good to see hollywood celebrities teaching their children to be something other than self absorbed brats. Giving back to the community whether local or global is what all of us at some point in time and in various degrees should be doing. America and Americans have become such a greedy selfish nation.

botched response much?
02:13 PM on 10/07/2009
These kids are horrid, precoutious, hollywood waste. I'd prefer they stay out of the serious work of AIDS fundraising and leave it to people who really want to help..

All religious endoctornation makes me suspect - equally. Can we really trust anyone who believes in a greater being? I say yes.

Throughout all these posts about Scientology, the Tom Cruises, the John Travoltas and now Will and Jada Smith I haven't hear or read anything about Scientology that I haven't hear or read about every other religious belief.

Sick and tired of all these labels and stamps on celebrities and people in general.

You've got to be kidding or ignorant.

And what greater being does Scientology believe in then???

Does Xenu count?
