David Archuleta is a hands-on kind of guy in this new shot from his recent trip to India.
The 20-year-old “My Kind of Perfect” singer recently traveled overseas to India in support of Rising Star Outreach, where he learned first hand what the organization does and stands for.
Rising Star Outreach’s mission is to help the Leprosy colonies become thriving, self-sufficient communities.
Rising Star Outreach is now considered a leader in the fight against leprosy in India, according to Amy Antonelli, executive director of the organization.
Singing star David Archuleta is also involved with the organization. “It’s really taught me a lot,” he said, “I don’t want to leave because it’s really great to be around these kids and all these people.”
Archuleta and his fans have raised over $21,000* for dental and other projects that benefit the children of Rising Star Outreach.

I just wanna share this awesome celebration of David’s 20th Birthday.
Today is David Day.. David Archuleta turns 20! In behalf of ALL PINOY DAVID ARCHULETA FANS out there, I would like to send our greetings and love to you, Mr. David Archuleta!
Pop singer David Archuleta and actor Michael York took center stage Thursday night to kick off the annual Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square concerts.
Choir president Mac Christensen called this year’s opening show “the greatest night we’ve ever had.”A capacity crowd witnessed the performance in the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, and three more performances are scheduled. Two concerts will be Friday, 17 December, and Saturday, 18 December, both at 7:30 p.m. The weekly half-hour CBS radio broadcast of Music and the Spoken Word on Sunday, 19 December, at 9:30 a.m. in the Conference Center will also feature Archuleta and York. This will be followed by additional music from the previous performances in a mini-concert. (Attendees should plan on being in their seats 30 to 60 minutes before each performance begins and should not save seats.)
“It just seemed so unreal last night,” said Archuleta, who has lived in Utah since age 10. “It was one of those moments where it was very hard to actually take it in and realize this is actually happening. … I’ve always enjoyed listening to the Choir — I think they’re my most listened to thing on iTunes. It’s amazing. There’s no place like performing here. It’s really incredible having the Choir right behind you. It’s like, ‘Wow, is this really happening?'”
It’s DECEMBER 17, it means we are celebrating the 1st MONTHSARY of D.A.L.I.M.2 (David Archuleta Live in Manila 2) .. so lets bring back the memories .. ♥ 🙂
