Open Day
Saturday 13 December 2008, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Viale Monza 57 and Viale Monza 44, Milan (MM Pasteur)
This year the Ivo de Carneri Foundation is opening its doors to supporters and friends for a whole day to Support Christmas 2008. The Foundation will present its projects and activities intended to help countries in the developing world.
Saturday 13 December, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
You will able to meet the Foundation staff, get to know what each one does and ask for information about projects and ways of providing support for its job in the world.
The Ivo de Carneri Foundation Open Day offers an opportunity to find out about health interventions that have been completed, and others still in progress in Africa and Asia. A movie will illustrate the health situation and life on Pemba Island (Tanzania), where the Foundation has been working for many years. You can expand your knowledge about diseases that have long disappeared from the industrialized world, but still leave a life-long mark on children and whole populations elsewhere. The pictures and the samples of local art will help you discover the places where the Foundation works and get to know the different projects that need your support.
The Ivo de Carneri Foundation Open Day is “twinned” this year with the Open day of Terre des Hommes Italy, whose offices are just over the road from us. These two non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have been committed for years in projects for the South of the world and also in campaigns in Italy to boost awareness of this work. They have decided to join forces this time, in order to set up a new “pole of solidarity” in an area of Milan known for its multi-ethnicity.
