6. George Clooney
It seems that George Clooney is much more than just a good (and cute) actor; he is also a true humanitarian. He can thank his father for raising him this way, and teaching him to have empathy and to use his powers to help less fortunate. We can even say that his father is the one responsible for successfully planting the philanthropy seed in his heart. Naming all the charities and causes he was involved in would pass the reasonable scope of this article, which is why we will share just a few of them like with the other celebrities who are active in disaster relief and humanitarian work on this list too. George Clooney is a proud co-founder of the humanitarian organization called Not On Our Watch which aims to put an end to “mass atrocities and gross violations of international human rights”. Two main issues this organization is focusing on are Crisis in Darfur where people are dying every day and Burma’s cruel regime in which fundamental human rights are being violated on a daily basis. George Clooney even traveled to Darfur, in 2006, together with his father, who is a journalist, because he wanted to bring closer to the public eye everything that is happening in this region. His efforts didn’t stop there, as he traveled to the Sudanese Nuba Mountains in 2012 for the purpose of filming this trip as a documentary who will get public attention and raise awareness of the people in power who can do something to help. This documentary is called A Journey to Darfur, and it was created together with the ENOUGH Project. In the same year, George Clooney was arrested with others who were peacefully protesting in front of the Sudanese Embassy in Washinton DC. So, if anyone doubted even for a second about how true is his devotion to this humanitarian cause, this should be enough to stop the suspicion. He was also a supporter of many other important organizations and causes, like United Way, Satellite Sentinel Project, ONE Campaign, Running Heart Foundation, Realizing The Dream, and many more. I guess it is no surprise that the only woman who has found a way to his heart is a famous lawyer who specialized international law and human rights and known for the many battles she won for human rights, beautiful Amal Alamudin.
