Carla Bruni Battles Against AIDS

Supermodel turned France's first lady Carla Bruni uses her influence to support the battle against AIDS.

Being the wife of the influential France President Nicolas Sarkozy, the 40-year old Italian-born former model says she will focus her AIDS charity work on the plight of mothers and children who are affected by the disease.

Carla Bruni will act as a goodwill ambassador for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, as well as other deadly diseases including tuberculosis and malaria.

Although she is not well-praised for her music, the model-turned first lady's charity campaigns will be given credits, hopefully.

From modeling to songwriting/singing to politics, Carla Bruni often speaks out about using her powerful position to help good causes. Her support to battle against AIDS is just one of them.
