The Extraordinary Life of Joaquin Phoenix

He belongs to The Lunchbox Fund

Joaquin has a very big heart, and he is actually on the board of directors for a non-profit organization called The Lunchbox Fund. This non-profit organization gives meals on a daily basis to the students of township schools that are located in Soweto, South Africa. Soweto is a township found in the Gauteng province of South Africa.

Many of these children come from the poorest of homes that are generally made of tin and are called “tin-shack” homes. They often sleep on the floor, and live together in these small shacks with their brothers and sisters, and often go without dinner. Sometimes these meals provided by The Lunchbox Fund, are the only food they get to eat during the week.
