More UNICEF

Tuesday June 16th.

Today Mme Granier, the Cannes representative of the UNICEF, was kind enough to come to Cannes La Bocca to give me an interview.

We mainly talked about collecting funds in Cannes. She said young people are the most supportive because they usually come up with fundraising ideas for the organization. For example, a group of high school students decided to organize a fundraising concert some months ago to help Haitian kids. In this particular case, UNICEF Cannes provided the theater and some publicity in the local newspaper, the Nice-Matin.

Mme Granier said the Cannois aren’t particularly known for being benevolent, but she did acknowledge the attitude of solidarity that the youth demonstrate nowadays.

She said she is very grateful for this new phenomenon.
