New York, After parting her ways from John Mayer, Katy Perry has started involving her in a lot of charity work.
She took her first trip to Madagascar in support of UNICEF this week to help draw attention to the importance of providing education and help to children on the African island, which is one of the poorest countries in the world.
The brunette beauty, who witnessed a range of programs in education, nutrition, health, child protection, sanitation and hygiene, admitted she is grateful for the experience and said in a statement that in less than one week here in Madagascar, she went from crowded city slums to the most remote villages and her eyes were opened wide by the incredible need for a healthy life which UNICEF is stepping in to help provide.
Katy participated in several local activities by hand-washing clothes and playing with children in a playground. She also pumped water at a well and visited a nutrition center to learn about the high rates of malnutrition in the country.
Katy has been keeping busy since breaking up with her on/off boyfriend of seven months again recently. Although the couple have called time on their romance, friends previously admitted they won’t be surprised if they get back together again in the near future.
