Scarlett Johansson recalls amazing visit to India to help the poor
December 10th, 2009 - 5:27 pm ICT by ANILondon, December 10 (ANI): Scarlett Johansson recently recalled the time when she travelled to India to see how a school was benefiting from the Oxfam Unwrapped programme.
The actress urged people to spend money on alternative stocking-fillers this Christmas to help the needy while revisiting her memories of the subcontinent.
“I spent an amazing day with some young girls at an Oxfam-funded school in Uttar Pradesh,” the Mirror quoted Johansson as saying.
“They were all from the lowest Dalit caste, but their education had filled them with ambition, self worth and hope for the future.
“Every child deserves that kind of start in life - and Oxfam Unwrapped gifts like desks and chairs, school equipment and even the school buildings themselves can provide this.
“And that’s why I am asking for us all to give these kinds of gifts this Christmas,” she added. (ANI)
