Eva Mendes makes charity trip
Eva Mendes has visited rape victims in Sierra Leone as part of a new documentary.
The Hitch star jetted out to the African country earlier this month (Oct11) to spend time with women who have suffered sexual abuse and her trip was filmed for the upcoming Half the Sky, which will be narrated by George Clooney.
Eva Mendes posted a picture from the trip on her Whosay.com page
and urged fans to help raise awareness of the problems in Sierra
Leone.
She writes, "I'm here in beautiful Sierra Leone, Africa. You
wouldn't believe the amount of rapes among women here, especially
little girls... This is all something we need to be aware of.
"Please help me spread the word. Much love."
Actresses Olivia Wilde, Diane Lane, America Ferrera and Nicole
Kidman are also filming installments for the documentary.
