musicians take to the stage at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation to
support the work done by UNICEF for societys weakest and most innocent
citizens, its children.

need, a gift of a smile, of laughter, of a thrill and finally of hope –
because art and laughter can bring smiles of joy to every childs face.
Everyone has a place on this journey and it is up to us all to lend a
helping hand in order to change the lives of these children for the
better.

The
proceeds from the performance will be donated to support the program
Godparent for UNICEF whilst all the participating artists hope that it
will evolve into a yearly event in aid of these children and UNICEF.
The program Godparent for UNICEF is a systematic program which is crucial to enabling the better programming of UNICEFs actions on a life-saving level.
Godparent for UNICEF,
within the monthly program, provides the necessary medical care,
vaccines, food, mosquito nets and hydration salts every day, all year
round, to children in need, whose lives depend on it. It is a gift of
life to the children which secures their future.
The event will take place in cooperation and with the support of UNICEF and the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation.
