Avril Lavigne donates musical instruments to kids

Singer Avril Lavigne has donated musical instruments to a children`s hospital in California.

Lavigne went to the Mattel Children`s hospital in Ucla, California, last month and took some musical instruments along with her for the children to learn while they recover, reports contactmusic.com.

The 27-year-old singer and her musician pal Evan Taubenfeld helped teach their young proteges the basics.

Lavigne shared her excitement on Twitter.

"EvanT giving impromptu guitar lesson (at) UclaHealth Mattel Children`s! We just donated instruments 2 them (sic)," she tweeted.

"Thank you EvanT for helping The Avril Foundation donate instruments (at) Ucla Health Mattel Children`s," she added.
