Rihanna
was recently named Humanitarian of the Year by Harvard University for her
inspiring charitable cases and the 29-year-old singer was present at Harvard on
Monday to receive her award.
She was excited to receive an award of that magnitude from such a prestigious
University.
“So
I made it to Harvard,” she began and received cheers from the audience. She
went on to inform her audience that one did not need to have too much in order
to help others. “You don’t have to be rich to be a humanitarian. You don’t
have to be rich to help somebody. You don’t gotta be famous. You don’t even
have to be college-educated. I mean, I wish I was … especially today.”
Earning
the Humanitarian of the Year award puts Rihanna in the same category with
others who had previously received same award like; actor James Earl Jones,
tennis player Arthur Ashe, and activist Malala Yousafzai.
