us as a celebrity?”

As movie stars are associated with
many different brands, it will be easier
for us to get sponsorship for the
different teams.
18. 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

brands into tying up with
charitable trusts.

overall he found our project fun and meaningful and that it should
definitely be implemented.
FIRST STEP TO REALITY!
24. 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 NEXT MOVE?
TO GO INTERVIEW ONE OF THE POLITICIANS IN INDIA
AND ASK FOR HIS VIEW
Enters RAJEEV PRATAP RUDY the spokesperson for
Bharatiya 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 out main concept,
which is about the youth making a
difference. He concluded that he would
support our project.
25. 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
Advertise
Travel to meet sponsors and celebrities
Set up office
Support all other administrative expenses that we
may incur.
CONLUSIO
NWe 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.’
