Tyler Perry is sending 65 children from a mostly minority Philadelphia daycare center to Disney World. The children were recently turned away from a predominantly white swim club and Perry wanted to do something nice for them to teach them that there are people out there that want them to succeed.
Perry is paying for the kids to go to Disney World for three days and covering all of their food, hotel and admissions expenses. "I am ecstatic for the children,"said the daycare owner.
After hearing about the negative actions of the swim club, Perry said, "This made me so angry. This is awful, and for anyone that has grown up in the inner-city, you know that one small act of kindness can change your life."
About the children he also added, "I want them to know that for every act of evil that a few people will throw at you, there are millions more who will do something kind for them. This is all about the kids."
