Open Day 2009

Viale Monza 44 and Viale Monza 57 – Milan (MM Pasteur)
After the successful experience in 2008, to Support Christmas 2009 the Ivo de Carneri Foundation once again is opening its doors to supporters, friends and all those who wish to know its initiatives and actions to help countries in developing world.
Saturday 13 December, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m, anyone who is interested in the activities of the Foundation will be able to meet its staff, ask for information about the projects and about the possibilities to support them.
The Ivo de Carneri Foundation Open Day is “twinned” as in 2008 with the Open Day of Terre des Hommes Italy, whose offices are just over the road. This two non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which represent the “pole of solidarity” in a multi-ethnic area of Milan, have been working for years in aid of developing countries and have committed themselves to increasing the awareness among the Italian people. The Ivo de Carneri Foudation and Terre des Hommes Italy have decided to make the event coincide to emphasize the common aspects of the initiatives they carry on alongside the poorest communities.
The detailed programme of the Open Day will be provided in the coming days. The event will represent an opportunity to know the reality of the countries where both organizations work and carry out their projects, thanks to the pictures, the examples of local handcrafts and the stories of the people who have had concrete experiences.
