On Tuesday, September 27th, 2011, also known as 'We Day', Nelly Furtado announced that she had donated $1million to the Free The Children charity. Now, this is certainly a great deal of money, but where did it come from? It came from her quick 45 minute performance for Muammar Qaddafi and his family, in Italy. It was there, that she obtained this money, and she decided to give it to the 'We Day' charity. Was this a good idea? Of course it was, and i couldn't agree more.
I believe she did the right thing by donating the money to Free The Children because of three apparent reasons. One, being that she needed to clear up her reputation- when you've been leading a positive career and a musical act for Qudaffi springs up, it does not look good on your behalf. Two, being that Free The Children was a good cause and everyone knew that the money would certainly go to its cause, without a doubt. If the money was sent to Libya again, it would have to be sent to the government of Libya, not the actual Libyans, therefore it would be such a waste. And finally, I think Nelly Furtado made the right decision because there are so many eager children in developing countries waiting to be heard, helped and loved, and Nelly Furtado just helped them with that.
