America Ferrera

America Ferrera -- Star of Ugly Betty, Save the Children Artist Ambassador hosted a benefit for Save the Children at Esquire SoHo in New York City on October 12, 2009.

The "Ugly Betty" star, who hosted the event, became an ambassador for Save the Children in September 2008.

America: "If my parents had not been able to leave Honduras, I would have been one of the children who needed to be saved.

Once I saw with my own eyes the difference Save the Children's work is making, I had an obligation to give back."
