Disney starlet Debby Ryan took a life changing trip to India last month.

She traveled to India along with Disney Channel stars Bella Thorne, Zendaya, Ross Lynch, and Laura Marano have been named the inaugural ambassadors for Disney’s Friends for Change Ambassadors program.  The program encourages kids and families to make a lasting, positive change by helping people, communities, and the planet.  In collaboration with select non-profit organizations, Disney Friends for Change Ambassadors will lead campaigns to engage millions of kids to take action and volunteer. Each nonprofit will receive a Disney Friends for Change grant to further the reach and impact of the themed campaign.

As part of the program, Disney Channel will debut a series of interstitial messages, featuring the Disney Friends for Change Ambassadors beginning Monday June 18. Disney Channel, Radio Disney, and Disney.com will chronicle the Ambassadors throughout the summer as they volunteer and inspire kids of all ages to lead. Also part of the interstitial series and debuting Friday, June 29, Debby Ryan will share her personal experience volunteering in India through Disney Friends for Change with Free The Children, where she helped build a new school for a local village. Inspired by the stories and efforts of Disney Friends for Change kids, Debby helped to start the Ambassadors program.  What do you think of this?

   This is just disappointing. Now I know that doing good deeds for the less fortunate and caring for the environment are very important things, and that it’s wonderful when celebrities take part in them, but this way seems fake and forced upon.
   This is one of the reasons I love Selena Gomez. Selena took part in UNICEF, Your Vote Counts, islanddog.org, and a few other charities ON HER OWN; it was all her decision. Bella, Zendaya, Debby, etc., doing this Friends for Change ambassador program DOES NOT make me feel that they’re doing these deeds because they wanted to do it, it’s more like that Disney is making them do it.

   A celebrity doing good deeds for the less fortunate (or environmental protection) should ONLY be appreciated when it’s the celebrity choice, NOT if it’s being offered from someone else. And that’s my 2 cents.

   Most of this events are forced upon on Celebrities, or they do it to gain attention. Very few celebrities does this things full-heartily. Example: Those who came from a family struggling with poverty, social problems. Our well known Disney stars aren’t one of them.
