Still on a high from Slumdog's eight Oscars, but please read this Daily Telegraph article about the complexities of providing better housing for the child stars of the movie. The pictures say a lot.
For example, Danny Boyle and his team provided the families of the children with the means to find better housing. But for example, Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail's family paid a broker who ran off with the cash.
It is really quite sad, and demonstrates why organizations such as the Hamara Foundation are so important. Hamara is a Mumbai-based outreach organization to help street children in Mumbai.
So again thanks to everyone who came out to support our party on Saturday. Because while we am happy these Azharuddin and Rubina are going to find a better life, so many more children still need our help.
