Super all around

Between the pictures of models and celebrity at shows and parties, scandals on and between the pages of magazines, and rumors that circulate the web, the beautiful people that we know as celebrities and models are often seen as shells of beauty with no real substance. We're eager to change that perspective.

Meet Petra Nemcova: Supermodel, girlfriend of the (also) beautiful actor Sean Penn, and... the Ambassador at large for Haiti.

Her non-profit group, Happy Hearts Fund, has been active since 2005 in bringing the "vision of rebuilding children lives affected by natural disasters" to life. Her mission was actually inspired by her own misfortune of experiencing the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004; despite being seriously injured herself, she was more affected by the helplessness of the victims of natural disasters - especially the children - and the lack of support that the government alone was able to give. Almost a decade later, HHF has already given support in six different countries, restructuring 57 schools, helping 34,412 children (and counting). She was presented with the title of Ambassador at large for Haiti due to her most recent activities in the country through her fund which she addresses briefly in the video above.

We admire Petra Nemcova's passion and her manifestation of her ability and influence as a supermodel to generate life-changing changes in the world. It takes great courage and motive to turn around the experience of tragedy into a tremendous force of progress in the world. Supermodel, superwoman! 

Always looking into the meré,
