REESE VISITS JAPAN FOR FIRST TIME HISTORIC ROLE

Dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono, Avon Global Ambassador Reese Witherspoon poses for photogs in a Japanese garden following a traditional Japanese tea ceremony where she met women who are breast cancer survivors at Happo-en in Tokyo on Wednesday.

Says Reese: “As Avon’s Global Ambassador, I’m honored to have this opportunity to meet with such extraordinary women, and experience a highlight of Japanese culture. While their courage is inspiring, I was saddened to hear that only about 12% of women in Japan receive regular breast cancer screening. The lack of testing equipment and breast cancer experts in Japan means that many women here do not have access to the medical technology and care that is critical to diagnose and fight this deadly disease.”

While in Japan, Ms. Witherspoon also introduced Avon’s first-ever global fundraising product, the Women’s Empowerment Bracelet, designed to save and improve women’s lives worldwide. The bracelet was first unveiled in the U.S. in March of this year at the second annual Global Summit for a Better Tomorrow, presented by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) in partnership with Avon, at the United Nations in celebration of International Women’s Day. Over half a million units of the Women’s Empowerment Bracelet have already sold in the U.S.

    What this woman won’t do to hold on to A list status , worshipping at the altar of the CORRUPT UNITED NATIONS to stay in favor with hollywood, This is not charity it’s part of the globalist agenda.

    I think she looks adorable in the white blouse/black skirt. The kimono is cute, too.
