Coiffed and coutured celebs looking beyond their powdered noses remain a refreshing departure to witness. Two youthful luminaries, Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao , extended their support to the marathon through NGOs Swayamsidh and Childline.
At a recent Press meet the duo expressed their solidarity to the cause of child welfare, amply displaying their empathy. "1098, the number of Childline, helps solve the problem of exploited and abused children. They receive about two million calls yearly, but this year they have received close to 17 million calls. Any underprivileged or exploited child should be made to avail of this facility, so that we can save them from future abuse."
Swayamsidh, based in Aurangabad, caters to the cause of challenged children and Kapoor bared his pride in combining forces with their mission. "Swayamsidh was started by ten women in Aurangabad and now they are that it makes me feel proud taking care of more than 70 children. They plan to grow further and I’m proud to associate with them.We want to make these challenged children as indepedent as possible."
The recent spate of child suicides have struck a heartfelt note in Rao’s psyche."More than money, what a child really needs is love. In addition to parental and peer pressure, it is the school teachers also can also put a lot of pressure on children. They have to show a great deal of understanding when they are tackling young minds. The family comes first and if the child feels disconnected with its parents, it can lead to a whole lot of problems later."
