Stars can help us attract sponsors!

As movie stars are associated with many different brands, it

will be easier for us to get sponsorship for the different

teams.

Many Bollywood stars have been heavily involved with different

charities over the past few years.The famous actor Abhay

Deol vouches for four NGO's, Video Volunteers, Butterflies, The Climate

Project and Wildlife SOS.

Young upcoming superstar Ranbir Kapoor was part of

the NDTV Toyota Greenathon 2010 that helped raise money to

provide solar power to 160 villages across the nation.

charitable trust set up by Bollywood super star

cause of the underprivileged

FIRST STEP TO REALITY!

Recently we had the privilege to interview Mohit Lalwani (a noted singer in Bollywood)

First steps in making our project a Getting celebrities involved!

“If this were a real life scenario, would you be willing to support us as a celebrity?”

His answer:

“Of course, I’d love to be a part of this project I am known to be part of projects like this.”

REALITY!

We wanted to know if our idea is viable so we asked?

“Do you think more celebrities would want to get involved in such a project?”

His answer:

“Many celebrities are taking part in such projects now, so it will not be a problem signing celebrities on for your project.”

Another actor who is known for his charitable side is John Abraham who strongly supports NGO Habitat for Humanity India, that runs a campaign for affordable housing. We were very privileged to get in contact with an actor of his stature.

‘I’d love to be a part of the project because it is a great idea and initiative’.

He concluded saying that we would face some hardships for sure but that overall he found our project fun and meaningful

and that it should definitely be implemented.

SECOND STEP TO REALITY: GETTING CELEBRITIES ON-BOARD

In the interview with actor John Abraham , he had also mentioned that :

“…. genuine support from the political system would be a great advantage in converting your

project into reality.”SO WHAT WAS OUR THIRD STEP TO REALITY?

TO GO INTERVIEW ONE OF THE POLITICIANS IN INDIA AND ASK FOR HIS VIEW

Enters RAJEEV PRATAP RUDY the spokesperson forBharatiya Janta Party political party in India.

 He agreed that it was a good idea to start on a ‘micro level’ first and then expand to more cities due to the obstacles we might face in every city in dealing especially with poverty.

 He also supported our main concept, which is about the youth making a difference. He concluded that he would support our project.

HOW WILL THE GRAND PRIZE MONEY BE USED?

The Grand Prize money will help us start our project by giving us the financial freedom to

AdvertiseTravel to meet sponsors and celebrities

Set up officeSupport all other administrative expenses

that we may incur.

CONLUSIONWe aim at starting the project small by supporting the education

campaign the whole year. In 5 years we will be able to support the education, poverty, and environment campaigns for the whole year.

This project can be transported to any part of the world.

This idea of getting the community involved with allure of celebrities can be applied the world over. Hollywood actors like Angelina Jolie and Demi Moore are known for their charitable

interests. By the year 2030, we will have A-list Hollywood celebrities involved in our project, and then we will be able to keep

to our namesake; ‘One Nation. One World.’
