Billionaires join hands for charity

I saw today's news  in Reuters , about the decision made by two worlds wealthy giants, Bill gates and Warren buffet on giving half their wealth for the purpose of charity. That is  certainly a welcoming news, considering the fact that more than half of wealth is locked in the hands of few.Bill and Melinda gates foundation is already doing a lot of work in developing countries.They have raised the standard of living  for millions of children, providing education, food and shelter.Their work in the area of AIDS vaccine is commendable.There are so many millionaires and billionaires, they have earned money through right and wrong means, and if few of them make a choice to use it for uplifting purpose, its certainly a green signal.Hope even Indian billionaires will come forward.
