It seems singer-actress Jessica Simpson's philanthropic interests have
come from her roots.





The 27-year-old, who works with the Casa Hogar Elim orphanage in Mexico,
revealed that she first visited the orphanage as a child with her dad.

"My father was a minister, so growing up, we'd go on a missionary trip
every summer, New York Daily quoted Simpson, as saying.

The pop star who donated a new Chrysler minivan to the orphanage in March
this year revealed, that the first time she saw the deprived kids she
made her mind to adopt them.

"The first time I went to that orphanage, I was 16. I remember holding
this baby who was found in a dumpster. I wanted to adopt him right then
and there. I was like, 'Dad, can I have him for my birthday, please?'"
she said.

Simpson had won a Chrysler Crossfire sports car at the 2006 MTV awards,
but exchanged the 50,000-dollar luxury car for a minivan so she could
help the orphanage. (ANI)
