lucky you are

lot of people now who are suffering with
no home
so imagine if you don't have a home to
go to so that is why you have helped a
lot of people actually now have a home
so I want you to now give yourself a big
round of applause
and that's why today is a very very
special day for me to be here with you

not be able to do this charity and we'd
not be able to go and help other people

just your contribution your support is a
big deal so please remember that
and also
um what I wanted to share with you is a
Habitat for Humanity which it's not just
about what funding you're giving us it's
also about your contribution and
volatility in volunteering okay so we do
need a lot of volunteers and we
appreciate all of you for doing that
your word of mouth really helps as well
and
um thank you members of the board for

in school so make sure you do that as
well and whenever you can help people
give to people
and uh remember it's the most beautiful
thing you can do as a human being
so help and give I hope you guys
remember that basically I have been
working with Habitat for Humanity for
about five years and uh this year I was
particularly concerned about the floods
in Tamil Nadu so uh Habitat for Humanity
helped me put together a build and uh we
named the bill Jacqueline build uh but
what we did not really actually expect
was the amount of support and
encouragement and help that we have been
receiving from all over India and one
such particular support was panned by
school so um my sincere thank you to
everyone who donated everyone who helped
every little rupee every little word of
mouth every little awareness
um you know really helps every single
one person volunteering helps and uh you
know I am so grateful that we have such
people like pan by college uh pan
bicycle keep following you guys College
pan by School uh you know who really do
take an interest and the great thing
about this initiative and what they have
done for Jacqueline builds is uh the
children that they have actually
inspired and they have actually educated
about how important it is to actually
have a home Jacqueline just like you are
working for a great cause uh we at CNN
IBN have taken up a cause of this
gentleman who's uh who's a skating
champion in the Olympics for the
disabled this time he wants to go to the
US in 2018 and participate for the
Winter Olympics a word of support would
be really great if you can just uh you
know encourage him and ask people to
just uh fund him and support him
I think uh you know people who uh
who are into Sport and need the
encouragement it's a very very important
thing for the country uh especially to
encourage such people because they bring
a lot of Pride to the country and they
also do it in a way to represent the
country so I really hope that he does
make it to the US and I really hope that
he comes back uh with a gold medal so
basically the build is happening on the
9th of April in Chennai and we've
located a place where we are going to be
doing our build we're hoping to achieve
um hopefully uh homes for 10 000
families so we are still looking at a
lot of support from people a lot of
donations and volunteers uh and uh it's
it's you know I've done a build before
it's an amazing experience you know you
go there you actually build your home
with the person who will be later
receiving the home and you start from
bottom up so you're there carrying
bricks you're there putting cement you
get really dirty you get uh you know I
mean like it it's it's hot but there's a
certain satisfaction at the end of the
day when you're done with it because
um you feel really really happy with the
work you've done you've really put your
blood and sweat into it and the people
that you hand over the keys to at the
end of the day are so happy and so
grateful for the you know
um I mean support that you've given them
that that is absolutely Priceless so
that is happening on the 9th of April
there's a lot of information on the
website on the
habitatindia.in website and my page is
there the Jack Dean bills page is there
so um people can read up about it and
you know they can see any contribution
helps I mean that's the most important
thing you know if it's not money it's
volunteering if it's not volunteering
it's awareness if it's you know so any
kind of contribution helps I think our
fraternity has been very supportive with
each other uh I think Whenever there is
someone from the industry who seeks help
um for whatever for their movies or for
their promotions or for even causes char
parties I always feel like
you know uh Bollywood like the film
industry always stands up and they
always stand up in solidarity and I love
that actually about my industry so uh
yes I mean like already I've got a lot
of support from a lot of my co-stars and
people working with me who have worked
with me so
um you know yeah we we're always there
for each other very important
thank you guys
happy Holi everyone and see you on the
9th of April in Chennai for Jacqueline
Bells
