Nicole Richie visited traffic school in LA yesterday, but stayed more undercover than usual probably looking to avoid any questions about her ex-fiancé DJ AM's plane crash [1]. While she's laying low for the moment, she's still staying active in her charity work, posting a video of her recent visit to a local children's shelter on the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation MySpace yesterday [2]. She wrote about her efforts, "This past year, philanthropy has opened my eyes to so much need and so much beauty. I have also realized how easy it is to help, and how rewarding it feels to be able to make a positive difference in someone's life," encouraging people to text and donate [3]. So far they've raised $10,000 [4] towards their $35,000 goal — already amazing work by these big hearted new parents and their continued passion for giving.
