To finance and support its projects, Smiling Children organised its first charity gala in Geneva on 19 January 2006. More than 500 people attended this event, the theme, decorations and food all related to Morocco and its beauties - wonders, oasis, glimmer and exoticism. Raised funds will allow us to help Morocco overcome some of its problems. The auction sale of six extraordinary lots (a day shooting with Luc Besson, the 18th place on the Shosholoza boat) animated by Jamel Debbouze and Gérard Darmond, was the highlight of this wonderful evening, enchanted by the presence of our charming ambassadors, Laetitia Casta and Virgine Ledoyen.
