Though it has been over a year, much of the destruction caused by the earthquake has yet to be repaired, a fact that affects the lives of millions. Putting their celebrity to good use models (and best friends) Coco Rocha<\/a><\/strong> and Behati Prinsloo<\/a><\/strong> headed to Haiti, along with LakayPam<\/a>, an organization dedicated to helping children in developing nations meet their basic needs. This week at Milk Gallery, a documentary of their travels directed by Coco’s husband James Conran<\/strong> premiered and the stars came out in support. Take a look at the film itself and a few words from Coco and co. on why its so important to give back.<\/p>\n MDC: How did you get involved with the cause?<\/strong><\/p>\n Coco Rocha<\/a><\/strong>: I had started right when the earthquake had hit to raise awareness and of course money for a group called LakayPam, which helps a specific orphanage. We decided to go back a year later and see if what we were doing had really helped these kids. We wanted Behati to take pictures and so the kids would know that we’re there for them we thought, lets get letters from around the world and bring them to these kids. I think people were very humbled by their reply letters, the kids were excited to see that people love and support them.<\/p>\n MDC: What made you want to come out and support tonight’s event?<\/strong><\/p>\n
