Summary
Vivek Oberoi is a man on a mission -- apart from doing quality work in films, he wants to help the needy and says that inner happiness is achieved by doing good for others. I feel its my duty to help the needy. I have been taught by my family that inner happiness is achieved by doing good for others and I totally believe in this. Everyone should take out time from their busy schedule to spread happiness in the world, Vivek told in interview. The 33-year-old is associated with a couple of charitable organisations. Apart from being a part of his mothers NGO The Yashodhara Oberoi Foundation (YOF), he is also the brand ambassador of Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA). Today people have a very short span of memory. When I talk about a certain NGO, it generates awareness and leads to more helping hands which they require, he said. It is not possible for any NGO to support its cause without any helping hand. I try to be the middle man by creating a right association with NGOs and corporate houses, added the actor, who recently joined hands with Panasonics Eco Idea Campaign and gifted a refrigerator to NGO Snehasadan, which works for street childrens welfare. A couple of months back I overheard a conversation of a staff about Snehasadan and what they do for the street kids. It caught my attention and I did my own research. I was really impressed with their work. When I met Father Placido Fonseca, he mentioned that in summer it gets tough for the children. I gave it a thought and got in touch with Panasonic to gift a refrigerator, he said.
