According to www.thecelebritytruth.com, has made her official website.
“This is something I’ve really wanted for a long time, I’m just excited to have a real connection with my fans and put some truth out there,” said Mischa, “I just think there’s all kinds of misconceptions on the internet these days and I really think that the internet can be used for good and for bad and there’s all kinds of crap that’s written about me. Half the time I look at the internet and read these stories and they’re just so outlandish and not true at all and I don’t want my fans to have the wrong idea of who I am as a person.”
Good choice to make. Her new website is MischaBarton.com.
Knit One, Save One Campaign
According to Tim Saunder, writer for www.looktothestars.org, Mischa Barton knitted a hat for a baby in Ethiopia, which is part of her Save The Child program and the Knit One, Save One campaign which started last month.
On her website Mischa wrote, “I knitted [the] cap a few weeks ago, which was then delivered to Ethiopia and given to an expectant mother who was waiting to give birth in her incredibly primitive home,” wrote Barton. “The baby was delivered with the help of a birth attendant that had been trained by Save the Children. The birth attendant put the cap on the newborn’s head in order to prevent hypothermia.”
I love this idea of knitting hats for a baby, too bad that I do not know how to knit.
Mischa continued writing about her trip to South Africa with the charity, “I visited a primary school in Soweto. Many of the children there are orphans or are infected with the AIDS virus. The kids and I read together, I helped serve them their lunch, and then after school my boyfriend at the time and I drove one of the little boys home. Just seeing where these children come from and the lives that they lead really opened my eyes to how much there is to be done in the world.”
“It truly was a life changing experience and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to spend time with these children. I have every intention of returning in the near future”
I know I have said this a lot, but I love to see a celebrity making a difference in other peoples lives.
There are other celebrities that also knit for the charity. Gwyneth Paltrow, Rebecca Romijn, Debra Messing, Lisa Edelstein, Vera Farmiga, and Patricia Arquette.
