Important for kids to be socially aware: Sarah Michelle Gellar

Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar says she wants her children to learn social awareness.

The 38-year-old actress, who has Charlotte, five, and Rocky, two, with husband Freddie Prinze Jr, is working with a charity organisation No Kid Hungry, which aims to end childhood hunger in America, reported People magazine.

"I really looked for something that I could do on a local and national level that involved children, and also some place that I could introduce my children to social awareness.

"It can't just be me saying to my daughter, 'There are hungry children out there.' I need her to understand that those hungry children are next door, and that this is a real problem.
