Christian Bale building foster homes in California

In a world where the life of useless Kardashian's are talked more, this news must have been top of the list. Christian Bale is building a new village in California by building 12 foster homes, as well as two studio flats to help children transition into independent living, and a 7,000 square feet community centre.

Work is under way on the project, which has an estimated cost of USD 22 million and completion date of 2025. Situated next to a park in Palmdale, a city 60 miles north of Los Angeles, the village will be the first of its kind in the state.

The Batman actor has been developing the idea since the birth of his daughter in 2005, after being ‘stunned and mad’ to learn how many children were in care in California
