ERIKA KINETZ Associated Press MUMBAI, India "” The makers of the hit movie Slumdog Millionaire have donated $747,500 (U.S.) to a charity devoted to improving the lives of street children in Mumbai, the filmmakers said today. The money will be given to Plan, an international children's charity that has been working in India since 1979. The aim is to help educate 5,000 slum kids over the next five years. "Having benefited so much from the hospitality of the people of Mumbai it is only right that some of the success of the movie be plowed back into the city in areas where it is needed most and where it can make a real difference to some lives," director Danny Boyle said in a statement. Slumdog Millionaire, a rags-to-riches tale of a slum kid who makes it big, won eight Oscars and has grossed more than $200 million worldwide.
