Scarlett Johansson recently recalled the time when she travelled to India to see how a school was benefiting from the Oxfam Unwrapped programme.The actress urged people to spend money on alternative stocking-fillers this Christmas to help the needy while revisiting her memories of the subcontinent.
"I spent an amazing day with some young girls at an Oxfam-funded school in Uttar Pradesh”, said Johansson.
"They were all from the lowest Dalit caste, but their education had filled them with ambition, self worth and hope for the future.
"Every child deserves that kind of start in life - and Oxfam Unwrapped gifts like desks and chairs, school equipment and even the school buildings themselves can provide this.
“And that’s why I am asking for us all to give these kinds of gifts this Christmas," she added.
