Travolta donates to Mandela fund

Johannesburg - John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston have donated R70 000 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 organisation'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 said: "Children keep you humble. Children keep you grounded."

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