Kristin Cavallari Starts Year With Charity Trip

The Hills’ Kristin Cavallari was in El Salvador for charity last month, and talked to USMagazine.com about the experience.

“Going to El Salvador was such an incredible experience,” said the 23-year-old actress, who visited schools and interacted with students. “It really put everything into perspective and made me appreciate everything I have. Seeing how happy and excited the kids were was the best feeling in the world.”

The star will continue her charity work later this year by traveling to Kenya with One Kid, One World, a charity that helps children in war torn and poverty stricken countries around the world.
