Actor-philanthropist Vivek Oberoi who has studied in the USA himself has now decided to sponsor girls from his own NGO Devi for international specialized study programmes.

 Vivek who is currently shooting for his next film Great Grand Masti in Gujarat will soon leave for the United States to tie-up with a few US colleges. These tie-ups will entitle girls from his NGO , Devi, to pursue their education further in the USA.

 Says a source, " Vivek is very impressed with the kind of progress the girls at DEVI are making with some showing immense potential. He wanted to provide them the opportunities he had while growing up and has decided to select 6 girls from the foundation every year to study in the US. Vivek has already started the process and will be travelling to the US in mid-July to complete the formalities".

 Says Vivek Oberoi, "Every girl child deserves the right to education and  I hope to help a few reach their ultimate potential with some specialized programmes in the US."
