After six days of being completely silent on Twitter and Facebook and Usher and Alicia breaking the rules by tweeting in an effort to raise money to fight HIV/AIDS around the world, the 18 participating celebrities regained their digital lives.
Keep A Child Alive, the parent organization of the Digital Death campaign, struck the $1,000,000 mark today on Monday leading the celebs to return to grace us with their tweets and facebook presences.
In an incredible show of devotion to the cause, a generous donation was made by billionaire Stewart Rahr, also known as Stewie Rah Rah, to help reach the $1 million goal.
The money collected by Keep A Child Alive will aid in the following:
• Provide their clinic in Uganda with everything they need to care for more than 7,000 people living with HIV/AIDS for an entire year.
• Run their child rescue program in South Africa for the next 3 years, bringing justice to hundreds of children victimized by rape, and protecting thousands more.
• Provide a year’s supply of medicine, food, care and support to 1500 children in South Africa, orphaned by AIDS or living in child-headed households.
• Expand the programs at their safe-house project in India to more than 1,000 people, helping them regain their health and overcome the stigma of living with HIV/AIDS for 5 years.
