Stunning supermodel Petra Nemcova has taken the fashion industry by storm since she was crowned cover girl of the highly anticipated Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in 2003. She has appeared in advertising campaigns for high-end brands such as Pantene, Lancaster, Graff, La Perla, Max Factor, Clarins, Cartier, Rampage and most recently, Fortunoff.

A survivor of the 2004 Asian Tsunami, Nemcova founded the Happy Hearts Fund in 2005 to aid children in need who have suffered loss or hardship as a result of natural, economic, or health-related disasters.

Happy Hearts Fund is working with Hewlett-Packard to establish computer labs in schools around the world, including Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and the Czech Republic.
