    Something praise worthy and commendable. This is the only way to lift the downtrodden from the pity of suffering the politicians will promise all the heavenly promises but until the compassionate individuals extend the hands of help towards the suffering people, hardly anything would be done.

    Hearty congratulations. Let other mega rich movie stars and rich business people may start such projects to help the humanity instead of displaying their mega mansions and car collections.
