The siblings, both actors, are teaming up with the global initiative dedicated to raising awareness for the 15 million children who have lost parents and relatives to the AIDS epidemic in Africa
"Willow and I joined Project Zambi to represent all the kids out there who want to make the world a better place," Jaden told Us in a statement. "We want to encourage kids everywhere to lend a hand and join us in spreading the word about how much children who have been orphaned by AIDS in Africa need our help."
Take a look at Willow and Jaden's parents on their wedding day!
Jaden -- who is currently filming Kung Fu Kid -- and Willow have joined other celebrities in autographing custom-designed, one-of-a-kind collectible elephant models that are available in a celebrity charity auction.

All the money raised from the sale of each elephant will be donated to a charity that supports children orphaned by AIDS in Africa.
Willow and Jaden's choice? The Chikumbuso Women and Orphan's Project in Zambia.
"Project Zambi is about kids and for kids, and it's so important that we all learn to take care of each other," Willow told Us in a statement. "Even from the other side of the world, kids in Africa will know they have friends who care about them."

great looking kids they are. Will and Jada looks like they are doing a great job raising their kids.
they r so lovely
I am very proud to see your Children doing positive things like thier Aids Awairness Programme .Thats very sweet ,Jah Bless
Yes, I'm very sure Jadan and Willow's parents are VERY PROUD OF THEM. To have children who care so much, is a wonderful trait in their psychological makeup and as adults they will be powerful humans in this world. God Bless Them and Bless the wonderful parents who have raised them.
Very nice to see children living by example. More young people need to be made aware of how others live around the world. Many American children do not realize the basic things we ALL are guilty of taking for granted. God continue to bless this family and the LOVE they share with the world.
This is a beautiful thing to see. It's nice to see these very privileged/blessed children, actually being a blessing as well...Job well done, mom & dad.
away to go guys, make mummy and daddy proud like I am!
I think that was so sweet of them god bless them both.
Last year I was in Lesotho a mountanious country land-locked by South Africa assessing the potential projects to enahnce the livelihoods of the people over there. Children there need lots of help and if we can work togehter folks we might help as many as we could. I was born in Tanzania and my hope is to team up with teams of folks to assist one child at a time. Jada and Will keep up the good work. As a specialist in agro-forestry if there is any way I can help, I am open to get my feet wet for the sake of African children and also in Macedonia. As parents sometimes we make mistakes and no one is perfect. If we seek forgiveness and we are honesty about it the healing process is needed and we can move on for the sake of our children and their children.
ithink that will and jada have great kids they teach them how to give back and also not to be selfish they are 100% mom and dad--go will and jada
i still say tiger deserves another chance with the wife. he did what thousands of men do and still that doesn't make it right. ss wife cry your river and move on.men stop pointing at tiger and fess up to your infidelities. if she love you she'll forgive you. it happened to me too.
it is said to train your kids on the way to go and i think jada and will are the world 's best parents. there is love there people.
I am soo very humbled what these youngsters are doing, i am a Zambian and wishing them all the best not that they will be sending and helping out the kids in Zambia, but i love the fact that kids are trying to show fellow kids and this can be a VERY BIG encouragement for the kids u know? Well, God bless y'all
I'm a parent myself. I know I would be so proud If my children did something like this.. GOD BLESS THEM..
SO COOL GODBLESS THESE CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS!!
With the parents they have, and the examples that are being set, I am not surprised by their unselfish act.
God bless you fresh prince of bel air's kids thats so kind so keep it up.
Now these are really awsome kids. Really fantastic of them to want to represent youth and kids their own age to showcase a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Their parents must be so proud. :)
These children have strong "roots" and a sound support system and the best roles models any child could have - THEIR PARENTS! Love 'em - and yes they are too cute!
