Unless you’ve been living under a rock over the weekends, you’d know that Puerto Rico was hit by Hurricane Maria, a category 5 storm that left much of the country devastated and damaged. While relief efforts are slowly helping to ease the burden left by the storm, plenty throughout the country still require help. More than half of the citizens in the country are still without clean drinking water.
To help with this, talk show host and comedian Stephen Colbert started a campaign called #PuberMe, where celebrities are required to post awkward pre-puberty or post-puberty photos of themselves. For each photo posted, Stephen will donate US$1,000 from his AmeriCone Dream fund to Puerto Rico.
While we’re not celebrities ourselves, we sure enjoy seeing these #ThrowbackThursday photos that celebs are posting on their various social media accounts. Click through the gallery below and enjoy!
