While Naomi Campbell is
consistently disgraced by her less than model behavior,
Iman is being honored for her impressive dedication and contributions to the "I Am African" campaign.
The supermodel
was recently honored for her work as world ambassador for "Keep a Child Alive", a program which combats AIDS in Africa. Capitol File Magazine presented Iman with the humanitarian award on November 30, alongside ambassadors from South Africa, Zambia, Lesotho, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, and Congo.
Iman also recently co-hosted the Condé Nast-sponsored Black Ball, held in order to benefit the "Keep a Child Alive" foundation. The leggy beauty's dedication to charity stands in stark contrast to many of our supermodels and celebrities in the news today: Iman is genuinely invested in a cause, instead of being invested in the media coverage she might receive by lending her status to a charity.
