Clarkson Visits South African Orphanage

Kelly Clarkson helped lift the spirits of a group of disadvantaged youngsters by visiting an orphanage during a charity trip to Cape Town, South Africa.

The Breakaway hitmaker met the residents of the House of Hope, an organisation which looks after abused and abandoned children suffering from Hiv.

She opened up about her experience in a post on Facebook.com, writing, "I just got back from Africa and had so much fun! I got to hang with the House Of Hope kids and go on a mini safari with some friends and family. I love South Africa! I love those kids even more.
