Eva Longoria, the award winning Desperate Housewives actress, has a heart as big as her smile and she has never forgotten her roots.\u00a0 Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, her ancestry is Mexican.\u00a0 Eva grew up in a tight nit community that has made her the confident person that she is today.\u00a0 “Growing up in this vibrant community left me with a strong desire to give back to them in the same way that they gave to me”, Longoria states.<\/p>\n

She has had a wonderful upbringing – went to a good high school, college, and began a successful career before acting, but realizes that not everyone is as fortunate.<\/p>\n

Eva is giving back to the Latina community by creating the “Eva Longoria Foundation<\/a>“.\u00a0 Their mission is “to help Latinas build better futures for themselves and their families through education and entrepreneurship”.\u00a0 They support programs and schools that help build a better future for other Latinas.<\/p>\n

Her foundation recently teamed up with the Parent Institute for Quality Education<\/a> (PIQE) to help more Latinas go to College.\u00a0 Statistics show that while only 15% of Latinas graduate from college, 80% of Latina teens aspire to go to college.\u00a0 There is a lot of work to be done, but it is very promising.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Eva’s foundation is really doing wonderful things for the Latina community.\u00a0 It is beautiful to see when someone truly cares about the future and they go out and make a positive difference.\u00a0 These types of organizations make the world a better place.<\/p>\n

Thank you Eva!!!<\/p>\n

Peace & Love,
Jon
