Actor Anupam Kher has decided to donate his two-acre plot at Karjat, near Mumbai, for tsunami victims.

The plot will be handed over to a nongovernmental organisation, SOS Children's Villages of India, which is expected to begin work in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Kher said in Mumbai on Saturday.

His autobiographical play, Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai, will be staged on February 19 in suburban Bandra in Mumbai for the benefit of the victims, the actor said.

The NGO will set up three villages at the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Pondicherry and Kanyakumari for children, SOS Children's Villages of India president J N Kaul said.

"About 104 children have been orphaned in Car Nicobar islands itself and now is the time for their rehabilitation," Kaul added.
