Sydney, Oct 15: In yet another effort to provide a better life to the under-privileged children of Udayan, Australian Test skipper Steve Waugh has launched a unique on-line fund raising 'art union' directed at cricket lovers in India and Australia. The Steve Waugh Udayan art union, to run until October 31, will provide an opportunity to the Indian and Australian public to buy tickets costing Australian dollar 10 via one of the websites, baggygreen.com.au, hungama.com, indiafm.com, cricinfo.com, cricketnext.com and yahoo.com.au.
The winner will enter a draw for the prizes which include a seven-day trip for two to Australia for Indian fans to witness the first Test at Brisbane from December 04 to 08 and a meeting with Waugh who would give away a signed cricket bat.
If the winner is an Australian supporter, he will be entitled to a seven-day holiday for two people to India for the final of the triangular tournament between Australia, India and New Zealand to be played on November 18 in Kolkata. The winner will also have the opportunity to meet Michael Bevan and be presented with a cricket bat signed by Steve Waugh.
The winner and partner will then fly to New Delhi to stay at the luxurious 14th century Heritage Neemrana Hill Fort Hotel for four nights and a tour of the magnificent Taj Mahal in Agra.
