Michelle Obama
She already has the title as President Obama’s wife but now she is also known as the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama. M.Obama prolifically paid visits to many homeless shelters and went abroad with Sarah Brown wife of the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown as well as explored the cancer ward. M.Obama decided to support the organic movement which requires the White House kitchens to produce organic food supplies, which led her to plant an organic garden and bee hives within the lawn of the White House. She is the left hand of Obama since M.Obama promotes all the bills developed and with the rise of the Pay equity law, Michelle sponsored women rights celebration. Hence, Michelle Obama sustained and spoke on behalf of the military families which makes her appear to be a role model despite people’s different views on politics.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
The most popular couple in Hollywood, who have not only impressed and amazed the audience by their well-known movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but also made a commitment helping places that are suffering from poverty, depletion and starvation. They are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, also known as Brangelina. Due to the courtesy and generosity of the Jolie-Pitt foundation, the U.N. agency was given one million dollars to assist the Pakistani population after their massive tussle with the Taliban militia. Pitt and Jolie have visited Pakistan three times earlier, due to the on-going earthquakes that took place and supplied the pauperized commoners with blankets, food, and plastic sheets. Pitt and Jolie are busy and hardly free because of their acting careers, but make time to aid civilians and donate huge quantities of money to the needy.

Stephanie Meyers

She displayed her hospitality by participating in the Project Book Babe-which is a highly useful program.

Meyer’s copy of the epilogue of her novel, “Forever Dawn,” was sold to Kate McCoy-Cummings for $5,100.

Bonner said “these kids don’t have a home; they don’t have a safe place to sleep at night, they’re out on the streets not because they want to be, but because it’s out of their control.” In order to ensure full security of the kids, he designed “Zackpacks” that consisted of various treats, toys, and etc. Bonner obtained the Presidential Call to Service Award by our previous candidate George W.
