As one of the speakers of the National Conference on Volunteers and Service in San Francisco on Monday, Matthew McConaughey spoke about volunteering and how happy he is for the second pregnancy of his girlfriend Camilla Alves.
In front of more than 4,000 people, the actor tackled his foundation j.k. livin, "We are putting after-school fitness and wellness programs into underserved communities nationwide, teaching physical fitness, nutrition education, with an emphasis on daily gratitude for how much or how little we have. And now that I'm blessed to be a father myself – I got one at home (Levi) who's 11 months and as you people know, we have another one in the oven, three months – this foundation and its cause means even more to me."
After First Lady Michelle Obama gave a speech discussing the new national program that encourages all people to volunteer in their communities, McConaughey stated, "As Mrs. Obama also reminded us, service is something for everybody to get involved in. Now, in my case, I was inspired to get involved in volunteering when I suddenly lost my father Jim McConaughey fours days into working on my first film. And as anyone who's lost a parent can tell you, when a loved one like that 'moves on' – after grieving, one looks for some inspiration from the loss, some lesson to learn, something constructive to take through life in their absence."
