2008 VICTOIRES CONCERT
33.000 Euros raised to the benefit of cambodian children
during the concert organized by the "Victoires 24" association


Two years after the Burundi, "Victoires 24" decided to dedicate to the Cambodian children the concert held on 6 April 2008 in the  Cathédrale Saint-Louis des Invalides, in Paris.

Many children's friends gathered on this occasion to attend the performance given by the "Sagittarius" Ensemble and the "Abbaye aux Dames" Vocal Ensemble, under the direction of Michel Laplénie, under the theme "Biblical heroines and Warlords", as well as by the "Chef de Bataillon Pierre Segrétain" Promotion composed by officer cadets from the Saint-Cyr Military Special School.

Personalities such as Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and the Princess of Hanover, Mrs Michèle Alliot-Marie, French Minister of the Interior, as well as Mr. Patrick Ollier, honored with their presence this event mixing classical music and humanitarian commitment, under the motivation of General Bruno Venard, Secretary General of the "Victoires 24" association, and Mrs. Ghislaine Venard-Fournier, its President, whose dynamism served once again the most needful ones, whom AMADE Cambodia tries to bring its support to.

The funds raised on the occasion of this concert - amount of 33.000 Euros - will be used to bring assistance to the children of Phnom Penh, whose mothers are incarcerated, being unable to pay back the debts they contracted to provide for themselves and their children. Living within transferred communities,  without any professional opportunity, these mothers have no other choice but to take their children to live with them, in jail, simply because they can not entrust them to somebody else's care.

Thanks to the generosity of the 2008 Victoires concert donators, a child nursery will be built inside the Phnom Penh prison centre. The children will find there a more blooming environment, as well as nutritional and educational assistance. Pregnant women and young mothers will follow consciousness-raising classes. Some outgoings could be organized, and the mothers will have the possibility to participate to the daily running operations of the structure.

Amongst the many guests associated for this cause, AMADE is proud to name the Countess Albina du Boisrouvray, the Baron and the Baroness Paul Hottinguer, the Duchess Sophie of Wurttemberg, His Grace Mgr Arz, Father Kim En Joong, the General Chinouilh and Mrs. Chinouilh, HEM and Mrs. Patrick Leclercq, HEM and Mrs. Jacques Boisson, HEM and Mrs. Uch Kiman, HEM Craig Stappleton, Mr. and Mrs Christian Orsetti, Mr. and Mrs Etienne Momège, Maître Alain Toucas and Mrs. de la Taille, Mr. and Mrs. Helfrich, Mr. and Mrs Philippe Deslandes, Mr. Georges Casati, Mr., Mrs and Miss Slah Eddine Bensaid, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Lee Radziwill.

AMADE addresses its special thanks to Father Kim En Joong, who generously offered one of his paintings as a special prize for the lottery organized during the concert.
