Justin Bieber Makes Time For Mumbai’s Underprivileged Kids Before Concert, But Not Socialites Parties

Justin Bieber Makes Time For Mumbai’s Underprivileged Kids Before Concert, But Not Socialites Parties//

Justin Bieber is a real one. Just hours before performing for 50,000 fans at his Purpose World Tour//
concert at the DY Patil stadium in Mumbai, India, on Wednesday night,//
the superstar took the time to meet underprivileged children in the city. During his surprise walkabout,//
Bieber gave away around 100 show tickets to children on a charity-run school bus.//
The Hindustan Times reports Bieber’s production team also set up a special lounge at the stadium for the youngsters//
which provided food and beverages before the Mumbai show. Video footage shows the Canadian star//
giving the kids high fives as they eagerly reached out to shake his hand. Based on clips below, //
the children were surprised and thrilled to see Justin hang out with them on the school bus.//
The “Sorry” singer played football with some of the kids he met and also went to a Mumbai community center//
which provides a range of support to children and families who live in the city’s slums.//
The school bus, the football game that was played, and the poverty rescue center Bieber visited are run//
and hosted by the Vision Rescue organization. According to the organization’s website,//
it currently operates in Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. Its aim is to “free children from all forms of poverty //
and exploitation by engaging and sustaining them in education,” a statement reads.//
“Education and nutritional meals are provided five days a week through school buses,//
which serve as school classrooms and community centers within the slums,” it adds.//
Other services include sports programs, vocational training, and medical and dental vans. //
All of which are used to support the street children, their families, and the wider community.//
Twenty-three million people reportedly reside in Mumbai. Fifty-four percent live in slum communities.//
They are classed as “untouchables” in India’s caste system. Typical slum dwellings are without sanitation//
and the poor have limited or no access to education, healthcare, and food.//
Vision Rescue reveals around 300,000 children live on Mumbai’s streets. //
The risks to them include early mortality, exposure to substance abuse, and being trafficked.//
The initiative is one of many outreach programs that Hillsong Church supports and helps raise funds for.//
Bieber is a longtime member of Hillsong and likely donates money to the church and Vision Rescue.//
Fan-filmed pictures and videos that surfaced show the superstar walking around Mumbai’s slums with his friends,//
Pastor Carl Lentz of the Hillsong Church in New York City and Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. from Miami’s Trinity Church.//
Justin’s charitable giveback efforts are especially focused on the most vulnerable.//
