Celebrity Singer Kelly Clarkson boosted the spirits of a group of underprivileged children by visiting an orphanage during a charity trip to Cape Town, South Africa.
The singer met the residents of the House of Hope, an organization which looks after abused and forsaken children most of whom are infected with HIV.
The hit actress discussed her experience in a post on Facebook.com, writing, “I just got back from Africa and had so much fun! I got to hang with the House Of Hope kids and go on a mini safari with some friends and family. I love South Africa! I love those kids even more.
“If you don’t know, House of Hope is an orphanage in South Africa that I got involved with a little over a year ago. They house around 30 kids right now and have had a rough life but you wouldn’t know it because they are the greatest kids with the best hearts, laughs, and smiles!”
