Kavita Oberoi
is a 38- year-old IT millionaire whose 
sole
interest in 
life, apart from her family, was making money. Her views completely changed 
when she went to the centre for disadvantaged girls in Manchester. She used to 
believe that people were poor because they didn`t try to improve their lives. 
When she got involved with the girls` centre, she realized that people often 
need help and support to do their best. She realized that her own mother had 
sacrificed
a lot so that Kavita could have a good education. Kavita became a 
director of the group and is helping it to go national to support more young 
women.

James Benamore
, a tough financial dealer now worth £77 million, 
used to have a drug problem himself. He waved good-bye to his wife and chil-
dren and went to 
a crime-ridden area
of Manchester. He worked in a centre 
for teenagers who were excluded from mainstream education and found that 
they had no confidence in themselves, nor any belief that any effort they made 
would make any difference. James donated money to the centre so that children 
who worked hard earned rewards in the form of trips and 
outings
.
He also of-
fered some teenagers a month`s work experience at his company. He was de-
lighted to see how their attitudes changed, and has set up the scheme perma-
nently.
