In what is potentially the most adorable video released by Justin Bieber yet, the pop star showed up unannounced on a school bus full of underprivileged children in Mumbai, India, on Wednesday to hang out with them before his concert.

According to Indian news reports, Bieber also invited 100 kids to see the concert and then brought them on stage to sing with him during his concert.
