We can all learn from Kelly. A founder member of the vocally unique, visually riveting, Destiny’s Child and a multi-platinum selling artist, Kelly is a woman who gives and gives. We love her music, her performances and appearances give the world so much joy. Kelly is extending what she’s doing to think of others to whom she can set a shining example.
What we need to remember and jollypeople.com is always mindful of, is people like Kelly don’t have to do what they do. Yet they put themselves out there to help others.
The MTV Staying Alive Foundation has the generosity and thoughtfullness to do the hard yards in creating a Foundation. It’s a huge challenge when an organization is examining causes, diligently seeing where to give funds so the best work is done.
The MTV Staying Alive Foundation, their energetic people and Kelly Rowland are out there responsibly and courageously giving back to the world, making sure there are people “Staying Alive”!
And it’s happening now!
