Models Giving Hope To Orphans In Haiti

Jenna Sauers — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 18:30:00 EST

Last night at Milk Studios in New York City, models Coco Rocha and Behati Prinsloo screened this film about their post-earthquake humanitarian trip to Haiti. It's 23 minutes long, but well worth a look. As is Lakay Pam, the charity Prinsloo and Rocha opted to work with, which runs orphanages, schools, and extra-curricular sports clubs for some of Haiti's poorest children. Haiti had an estimated 380,000 orphans before last January's devastating earthquake; since the disaster, that number has more than doubled, to nearly 1 million. Watch as Rocha and Prinsloo, along with Cedric Roche of Lakay Pam, and Rocha's husband, James Conran, and agency booker, Micki Schneider, organize a drive to collect letters from children in the West, have them translated, and match them as pen-pals with the Haitian kids. They visit schools and orphanages, play soccer, and venture into one of Port-au-Prince's notorious tent cities. The part where a little girl gets a coloring book, and her entire face changes, is heart-breaking. As Rocha pointed out last night, all of these children are eligible for adoption. (John Seabrook wrote movingly of his and his wife's years-long effort to adopt an orphan from Haiti in the New Yorker last year.) If you can't do that, surely you can kick Lakay Pam, or another organization doing good work in Haiti, some cash. More »

World renowned model Coco Rocha stopped by America's Next Top Model last night not only to judge, but to participate in a photo shoot with all of the contestants. Bless her heart. The theme of the day was a violent cat fight, and the challenge generally paired two girls who didn't like each other together to work with Coco. Surprisingly, the girls who didn't get along very well, like Bianca and Shannon, churned out a series great photos while others ...didn't do as well. There was Angelea, who walked off the set in tears after overhearing what the photographer and Jay Manuel were saying about her, and Bre, who decided it was a good idea to scream her lungs out during the whole shoot, which was not only bizarre, but frightened Coco enough that she "didn't even know how to pose anymore."
