Kim Kardashian Goes to Haiti

Kim Kardashian is taking a break from the media circus that constantly surrounds her in America to give back to women in need in Haiti. People reports that the reality star is in the earthquake-ravaged country with the charity group We Advance, along with her mom Kris Jenner and actress Maria Bello, who co-founded the organization.

According to its website, We Advance is "a movement to advance the health, safety and well-being of women throughout Haiti."

"She connected with Mario Bello and is there with Maria's foundation and also with her mom," a source close to Kardashian tells the magazine. "Her intention was always to take the end of the year to focus on some of the other things that are important to her and this trip was one."

Adds the source: "[Kim's] father instilled in her and her siblings that every little bit counts and she always tries to do as much as she can — whether it's privately or whether it's something that she can use her platform for — to help."
