The Irish are out to save the children of India, and Hollywood actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers is at the forefront of the campaign. The 31-year-old veteran of 35 major film and television productions has just been named as an ambassador for the Hope Foundation, a charity formed in his native Ireland.

“I’m deeply honored to become an ambassador for an organisation like the Hope Foundation,” said Rhys Meyers during a function earlier this week. “Hope, an initiative started in my native Cork over eight years ago, has provided shelter, medical care, and support to some of the world’s poorest and most mistreated children – the street children of Calcutta.”

The actor intends to visit Calcutta later this year to film a television documentary on the work of the Hope Foundation.
