Changed the game by ... taking the telethon viral. Milano, the former star of "Charmed" and a UNICEF ambassador, has shown how celebrities can use Twitter and the Internet for good. She has used her feed to reach out to her more than one million followers and regularly promote causes. Last December, she celebrated her 37th birthday with an online fundraiser for Charity Water, which works to provide access to clean drinking water. Her target was $25,000; she ended up raising over $90,000. Tweeted this: *TWEET CHALLENGE* I just donated $50,000 to UNICEF for #Haiti relief. Which corporation will match my donation?

He saw a hurting community (Harlem, USA) and hurting children, and did something about it. He did not "pull an Oprah" and start a school on another continent because "black kids in the USA are just not worth it, wouldn't appreciate it" (I am paraphrasing Oprah); what he did was took his life savings/pensions and proceeded to change and save lives. What a wonderful human being!!! We should all be proud of him!!!!
