Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi was seen having a gala time with the children of Sneha Sadan, an NGO that provides home and care to homeless street children. Oberoi, who spent some time with the kids later, presented them an ecofriendly refrigerator.

“They are doing good job. I think we should encourage it. Normally you have celebrities associating with certain causes at a certain scale. I thought this was very sweet and good thing to do and give a refrigerator,” said Oberoi.

“This is also ecofriendly; honest truth is that I wanted to come here and see these kids. I was hearing so much about Sneha Sadan. So I thought I come here and spend time here,” he added.

Sneha Sadan has been providing succour to almost 20,000 children and giving them a chance to escape life on the streets and have access to what they can call their own family. They are also given basic education
