    Singer Sonu Nigam has been announced as the Goodwill Ambassador for Indian NGO Fight Hunger Foundation. He has also released a song to help raise awareness about the cause.
     
    The song is titled "Hope in the future" and was released on Friday.
     
    Sonu said in a statement: "I can no longer just stand by, while millions of children in India die of hunger. My new song called 'Hope in the future' is dedicated to Fight Hunger Foundation. They fight everyday so that one day, no child in India will die of hunger.
     
    "I know that if we come together to fight hunger, this day will come soon."
