Scarlett Johansson Wants A Goat For Christmas
Not for herself, but for the Oxfam Unwrapped campaign. Scarlett Johansson as well as Minnie Driver, Ricky Gervais and British comedian Johnny Vegas are involved in the campaign which encourages people to buy animals, school books and other necessities for people in the developing world as presents for their loved.
Scarlett went to Uttar Pradesh in India to see the campaign in action and says:
“The girls 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.”
Ricky Gervais has said of being involved:
“’I am so proud to be part of this campaign. These small gifts really do make a massive difference to people’s lives and I want everyone in the UK to buy at least one Unwrapped Flanimal for their friends this Christmas.”

Isn’t it heartwarming when people as popular as Scarlett go a little out of their way to help the needy and unfortunate? I hope other celebrities can share and use their worldwide reach to encourage others to look out for their fellowmen.
