She's so cute. She still looks like a kid.

What is she doing there? I may sound cynical but seems like it has become the politically correct thing for celebs to do these days....what purpose do they really serve going to these places? Are they taking money, food, medicine/medical supplies? I hope when they go to these places they are doing some good and not just hoping that other people seeing their faces will bring some kind of intrest or support...
*not bashing Drew! She is one of my faves*

Okay, I guess I bathed in cynicism this morning, but...why would you vacation in Kenya if you were a millionaire? Honestly. Would you want to go to a place of such poverty to relax? I mean, really...if you want to go have a good time, I don't think a village in Kenya would be my first pick....
surely surely she is on some type of humanaitarian (sp) trip...

^^ My brother went there as a missonary and he said it was an amazing place. He came back with some great stories about the locals and how they live. He said he'd go back again to learn more about the culture. Who knows? It's possible that's why she's there. At least she doesn't look so somber.

I would hope she is there doing some good ($), not just to get publicity.

I really like her. She looks healthy and happy in these photos.

Sky's the limit for Drew Barrymore

Actress Drew Barrymore recently took a trip with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to the low-income, food-deficit country of Kenya. WFP's goal/responsibility in Kenya is to "provide a full food basket of 2,100 kcal to the entire refugee population." Drew Barrymore made her way to St. Philips Schools of the Needy Children in Nairobi, where the school's motto is "Sky is the limit." WFP works to eradicate global hunger and poverty with Kenya as one of its main focuses. Back on September 12, Drew Barrymore attended a special screening of Angelina Jolie's "MTV Diary in Africa" at the Museum of Radio and Television in New York City. Drew Barrymore and Angelina Jolie are reportedly filming interviews for a documentary on poverty in Kenya. -justjared

"...and whatever you guys do, don't tell Angelina I'm doing this,
or the adoption's off."

I think she and some friends are going on a trip to see different places around the world, I heard something about it on Oprah

Edit; I need to read the whole thread, wuwuwu beat me to it, kinda... UN, aha.

She does look like she's having a good time doesn't she?? Bless her heart.

She looks good. Celebs always in the limelight. What about hundreds of people who go over there to help and don't get recognition and probably don't want it.
