I believe that that Nelly made a big mistake by donating the $1 million to "Me To We" because she obtained that money for a short performance in Libya. In the first place, she was paid $1 million for performing a quick 45 minute musical act in Libya for Qaddafi. I find it as a big scam since she got the $1 million from a poor country which is undertaking struggles (Libya), and then giving it to "Me To We". My opinion is that she gave the money to a very popular organization so that Nelly Futado could be very popular herself.
Basically Muammar El. Qaddafi rented a hotel with a party room and hired a private musical act which was Nelly Furtado. She was getting paid $1 million for a 45 minute musical act. Now in "Me To We 2011", Nelly confirmed that she was going to donate that money to Kenya for an all girls school. She said "The girls in Kenya really inspired me", maybe they did, but maybe she could be making that up so she would be well known across the world as a caring person. All in all, I think she is doing a good thing, but not the right thing.
I highly disagree about this article. First of all Nelly Furtdao didn't make this decision just for popularity, she wanted to do the right thing. Nelly said that"the girls in Kenya inspired her the most" but that doesn't mean that she will donate all the money to an all girls school, the money is for countries that are in need. Yes, Kenya is one of the countries that are in need but there other countries too. Another point is, Nelly is not the only singer that preformed for the Quaddfi family, there are various singers that preformed as well. Nelly knows that she was paid but she didn't know that she didn't expect 1 million dollars and she took the money. years after she figured out that the money that she was paid was from the Libyans who pay taxes. And finally,if she gave the money that she was paid years ago then that money would be used in war or in different reasons.
