'CINEMA ANGELS - GIVE A TOY' 4ème année

Dear VIP Festival Pass Holder & Cinephile: The Lenval Children’s Hospital and Foundation cares for children between the ages of 3 and 12. The “Cinema Angels – Give a Toy” appeal was born after the directors of the Angel Film Awards, Rosana and Dean pledged to help the children in whatever way they could and now they are reaching out to you. We ask if you could kindly donate a new soft-toy or teddy bear and deliver on or before the opening press call.

2012 Angel Film Awards Dame of Honour is Lamia Khashoggi. In 2005 Lamia co-founded The Children for Peace (ONLUS) an Italian NGO, together with Debra Mace TCFP (ONLUS) President. NGO actively works in Mali with Mujeres Solidarias of the University of Malaga and Concordia Charity along with Princess Marie-Louise of Prussia. Together they fund an orphanage in Ethiopia under the Montserrat Caballè Education Scholarship, giving private educational opportunities to orphanage children. Information for donations is on the festival website.
