Lady Diana' contrubution:
When you think of fairy tales,you think of a Princess and Prince living happily ever after.This fairy tale is similar but has a twist in it.Princess Diana Spencer has touched the lives on many people in many ways.Some of the ways include her royalty in England,working with AIDS and HIV patients,and helping to banned landmines.She is influential and an inspiration to many people across the whole globe.
With Princess Diana’s kind heart she decided to help out with several serious problems in the World today.Her first project was taking on such sensitive issues as HIV and AIDS,domestic abuse,and drug addiction.She traveled hundreds of miles a year to support her favorite causes,often taking young Prince William with her.In June 1997,Diana auctioned off 79 of her evening gowns at Christie’s in New York.The gowns collected over $5.7 million dollars,which was donated to AIDS and cancer funds.Diana touched a patient dying of AIDS.She said “HIV does not make people dangerous to know,so you can shake their hands and give them a hug.”
A major contribution to charity was when Princess Diana helped to ban landmines.Hundreds of people were being killed from them and she wanted to make a difference.She visited landmine projects in Travnic,Sarajevo and Zenezica.Diana also traveled to such conflict-ridden areas as Angola and the former Yugoslavia on behalf of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines in January 1997.Some British politicians criticized her,but her visits to the victims drew world attention to the cause.In the end,Diana contributed to over 100 different charities.
