Anne Hathaway singing on stage \u003cbr/\u003eHollywood stars are trying to keep the plight of the Tsunami victims in people's minds with a new charity called \"Kids of Hope.\" \u003cbr/\u003eAt a gala event held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles on Thursday night (April 21, 2005) guests had the chance to bid on several items donated for auction, with the aim of helping the children who were left orphaned and homeless after the Tsunami disaster. \u003cbr/\u003ePop sensation, Reggie Benjamin had a very personal reason for being there. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I actually lost a cousin in the Tsunami,\" Benjamin informed us, \"I'm from India, and I wrote a song in regards to the Tsunami, so, I'm going to perform that tonight, and that was real close to home, you always think ok, bad things happen, but you know, I ended up losing a cousin, so it's like woah.\" \u003cbr/\u003eTelevision personality, Ana Maria Montero told Associated Press what \"Kids Of Hope\" is trying to do. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Well, basically,\" said Montero, \"the event is called 'Kids of Hope' and it's about raising awareness about the aftermath of the Tsunami, because, as you know, so many thousands of people were left homeless, and in particular a very big part of that were children. They've been orphaned, they have nowhere to go, nobody to take care of them, and they're really in destitute conditions, so, this event is about creating that hope, that spirit, that feeling, that even though we're thousands of miles away, and even though this happened four months ago, they're still in our minds and our hearts, and there's something that we can do to help them.\" \u003cbr/\u003eThe variety of pieces available at the auction meant there was definitely something for everyone, and guests were eager to sign up to buy the memorabilia, the jewels and the paintings. \u003cbr/\u003eActress, Kimberley J. Brown, who has just finished shooting 'Be Cool' with John Travolta and Uma Thurman felt it was time to step up to plate and help those less fortunate. \u003cbr/\u003e\"You kind of feel helpless here,\" admitted Kimberley, \"you're able to turn off the remote and feel fine, and it just doesn't feel right in a way, so it's a nice way to come out and have a nice evening and also give back in a way that we can.\" \u003cbr/\u003eMusician, and former journalist, John Tesh recently went to Sri Lanka with his family, says the kids who survived have a long way to go before they'll be emotionally whole again. John's book, 'Shades of Blue' is full of drawings done by those kids, and the proceeds from the sales will be used to help them move forward, emotionally, physically and mentally. \u003cbr/\u003eJohn told Associated Press, \"The Tamil word for nightmare is Amaku and these kids keep talking about it, because every night they get awakened by that nightmare of the wave landing on them again, so, the healing here, (head) and here, (heart) is far beyond what a little bit of food and medical supplies will do.\" \u003cbr/\u003eActress, Anne Hathaway was roped into attending the event by her cousin, who was organising it, but was very happy to do whatever she could to help those in need. \u003cbr/\u003eLike most people, Anne will never forget how helpless she felt when she heard about the tsunami disaster. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I was very overwhelmed, says Anne, \"but also I didn't really know how to feel, what can you feel, it's something that there's no-one to blame, there's no fault which lies with anyone, all you can do is just open your heart, and if you can, your wallet.\" \u003cbr/\u003eHassina Leelaraphna, Founder of the Sri Lanka Express Foundation and guest speaker, led others in a ritual candle lighting ceremony, before the event got underway, before gently reminded everyone that what the children need is money. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Now, the buildings are coming up,\" Hassina told them, \"the stock market, no doubt, is bouncing back and I'm sure the tourists will start coming back. But my question is, what about the little life that has been shattered, what about that little heart that has been broken. How do you repair that, how do you put that together, and equally important is, who is responsible, who is responsible for that. And having raised that question ladies and gentlemen, I will leave you tonight with this thought, who is responsible, if not us, then who?\" \u003cbr/\u003eThe guests it seems, paid attention, and dug deep to buy the items under the hammer. Anne Hathaway entertained the crowd with a song - she was joined with Reggie Benjamin and Kyle Puccia who also performed on the night, along with John Tesh on the piano.\u003cbr/\u003eAll proceeds from the \"Kids of Hope\" event will benefit the Sambodhi Home in Galle, a shelter for physically and mentally disabled children and adults. More than half of the residents of the home were either drowned in their beds, or swept away by the torrents of water that battered coastal Sri Lanka.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
