Comment from the contributor:

From Yahoo News/India Abroad --Music, fashion and a celebrity-based auction took center stage at a fund raiser for street children in India.

“ The child rights activist who has been working with celebrities for the last 20 years feels the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' (which portrays the life of children living in Indian slums) has been a catalyst in generating more aid for street children. ”
