Thank god for one happy ending, with all the sadness around lately.

"I was shocked when I saw this house," Azhar, 11, said, before turning on one of his favorite Hindi songs and dancing around the living room. "I want to thank Danny Boyle for giving us this flat."

Boyle, the director of the Oscar-winning hit, and producer Christian Colson will transfer the $50,000 one-bedroom apartment to Azhar's name when he turns 18, provided he finishes school.

This child deserves a decent place to stay, after all he made us all happy as we watched his movie. In one way or another he touched our heart. I was even sad when I knew that he lost his house.So now I am so happy for him having a comfortable place to stay now.He truly desrves it!

May god bless this child and his family. They truly deserve decency in their lives. This film touched me and thousands in so many ways. Poverty and hunger is an issue we all should focus on. For those that forget where they come from, should watch this film.

these kids made this movies worth a lot of money why can't they have a nice home not an apartment

I think the kids an their family should be able to live in a nice clean place in a house that everyone has their own room and not sleep in a kitchen with the money that movie made that's just nasty to sleep in a kitchen after you worked hard and made money to pay for a place to live food to eat and a nice school god bless people that have to be treated in those kind of ways

I ALSO THOUGHT THAT WITH ALL THE MONEY THAT THE MOVIE MADE THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN A HOME OF THEIR OWN AND NOT A ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT...THERE IS SO MANY FORECLOSED HOMES AVAILABLE IN THE STATES THAT 50,000 THEY SPENT ON ONE BEDROOM APT. THEY COULD HAVE GOTTEN A HOME...THAT'S MORE THAN A DOWN PAYMENT... NEXT TIME TRY HARDER...

Rhonda and babiegirl, think more globally...
These kids have educational trust funds set for them all the way through college plus cash upon adulthood. Isn't it better that they stay in the country of their extended family, native language and support system; finish school and go on to be role models and contributors to the betterment of their own society. The USA is a great place but our economy stinks right now and to immigrate people whose skills would make them almost unemployable, exposed to racism (yes, it unfortunately still exists), and isolated from their others of their language, culture and religion would not solve their problems. We've all watched the news when some young man who was fourth generation from the projects and becomes a multi-million dollar athlete. He's is preyed upon by unscrupulous "friends" until some injury, drug habit, or illegal hobby ruins his career; and then everyone feigns shock when he leaves the sport in shame, files backruptsy and moves back in with his mother who is raising all his illigitimate children. This is a small family, a one-bedroom apartment with running water, electricity, a real kitchen and a full bathroom is a huge transition. When we lived in San Diego, polite immigrants from impoverished Mexico couldn't believe any plumbing could handle toilet paper and 'politely' deposited all their soiled toilet paper in our wastebaskets (you can imagine the smell). Do I agree with you that these kids and their families deserve to be millionaires, absolutely-they earned it, however the leap in one step would be too great. Let them adjust to the idea of an educated future, a professional career, and indoor plumbing; before we expose them to racism, isolation, and predators.
I wish them the best the world has to offer!
