Travolta donates to Children's Fund

John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston have donated R70 000 rand to the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund.

The "Hairspray" star, Preston and their daughter Ella spent Saturday afternoon with a group of children the fund has supported at the organization's Johannesburg headquarters.

The children gave a drum concert and serenaded the family with a poem titled, "Eyes in the sky, foot on the ground." Travolta later showed off a few dance moves.

Casually dressed in a black jacket and white T-shirt, Travolta talked about the importance of family life. He says, "Children keep you humble. Children keep you grounded."

Travolta, a spokesman for Australian airline Qantas, will stay a few days in South Africa to support Australia's World Cup team.
