Actress Alexa PenaVega recently discussed the significance of setting an example of having a “kingdom marriage” in Hollywood and how advocating for causes she cares about led her to become a celebrity supporter of World Vision. PenaVega, best known for her role in “Spy Kids,” recently visited the Los Angeles Dream Center to hand out toys and meet with children as part of her work with the humanitarian nonprofit organization World Vision.<\/p>\n

This holiday season, she’s featuring her eco-friendly bracelets in World Vision’s gift catalog to raise money for the organization’s relief and development work around the globe. She told The Christian Post, “I’ve been a part of the World Vision family for years. I have a friend who works with different charitable organizations, and he reached out to me and said, ‘Hey, World Vision is doing a gift catalog this year. Would you like to be a part of it? I was like, ‘Are you kidding? I’ve been giving to them for years. I would love to be a part of it!'”<\/p>\n

PenaVega’s family is from Bogota, Colombia, so World Vision partnered with artisans in Colombia who made the melon seed bracelets. She continued, “What I love about World Vision is, one, it’s a Christian organization. So they have Kingdom hearts, and they’re ready to serve in any way. Also, they want to help people to be self-sustaining. They don’t want to just give handouts and say, ‘Good luck.’ It really goes back to teach a man how to fish.”<\/p>\n
