Keri Hilson recently made a lil promo stop at an orphanage in C?te d’Ivoire (The Ivory Coast), West Africa, where she’s scheduled to perform…

Keri’s camp apparently felt the need to put out a lil positive press after her recent Beyonce diss on the Red Carpet of the 2011 Soul Trail Awards, so the singer/songwriter took a few photos with kids who’d lost families during the crisis in Cote d’Ivoire.

“…organizers of the orphanage said the kids referred to my visit as Christmas!”

More photos…

Major props to Keri for bringing a lil sunshine to orphaned kids. You did good chick…. *thumbs up*
