Lisa Left Eye Lopes anniversary
Lisa Lopes -- better known by her stage name, Left Eye -- died on April 25, 2002 in a car crash in Honduras, a place she had made her second home. The rapper had set her sights on eventually developing a medical and educational nonprofit there and at the time of her untimely death, had been volunteering at a child welfare center, according to Entertainment Weekly.
According to People, Left Eye was initially motivated to help out in Honduras after Hurricane Mitch hit in 1998. She then went on to promote literacy programs and bought land to start a children's camp. In her home state of Atlanta, the singer often visited children in local hospitals and she had planned to visit a refugee camp in Kenya.
