Matthew McConahi and his wife Camila Alves became the heroes of the new issue of Town & Country Magazine magazine.
Last week they celebrated eight years since the wedding day. The couple raises three children: ten-year-old, 11-year-old Levi and Seven-year-old Livingston. In 2008, McConahi and Alves founded a charitable organization to support high school students Just Keep Livin, which "provides them with tools for conducting active life and adopting healthy solutions." In an interview with Matthew and Camila, they talked a little about their charity and raising children.
I believe in high school there is the last chance to warn teenagers from all bad and send to the right way,
Said an actor. At the same time, McConahs do not believe that charity is selflessness:
Giving anything to others is a selfish desire. I like to see the smiles of those who we help, hear how young people tell us "Thank you." Is it unreasonable? I think this is a completely egoistic action.
Also, the actor identified the difference between "Giving all the children" and "Giving what they need."
Sometimes love for children comes down to giving them everything they want. Wealthy people can give their children everything, but ultimately they may not get what they need. To love children is quite difficult if you really do not care about them. To tell them "no" is much more difficult than saying "yes." Judging by the way my wife giggles, I'm still more often telling children "yes." Probably she is right
