A Night for the Benefactors of Doctors of the World 2007

Thursday, 04 October 2007
6:30 PM - 9:00 PM

We are very honored to announce an exceptional evening that will be held on October 4th 2007, in the prestigious setting of the International House of Japan, to the benefit of the international NGO Doctors of the World (Médecins du Monde).

This year, the Night for the Benefactors of Doctors of the World will be the first milestone of a great advocacy campaign on the exclusion children victims of physical handicap suffer in the most underpriviledged countries, while solutions, such as plastic surgery, exist at affordable costs. Each year, dozens of Japanese medical staff take part in Opération Sourire (Operation Smile), in their free time and without any retribution, contributing to building a brighter future for hundreds of children.

Making a donation of at least 20,000 yens, you will cover more than half of the cost of the surgical operation for one child. In exchange for this donation, we will be happy to send you an invitation card that will allow you to participate, along with our generous sponsors, to the Night for the Benefactors of Doctors of the World 2007.

Thanks to the fully volunteer support of the best restaurants of French cuisine in Tokyo, you will enjoy a wide variety of delicious meals, served by the most renown chefs themselves. This very special gala is thus a unique occasion for our donors to discover the most delightful French cuisine while contributing, with their donations, to offering a life worth living to the underpriviledged kids of the world.

For the first time, the Night for the Benefactors of Doctors of the World will also include a small auction which benefits will be entirely used to fund Opération Sourire. Some exceptional lots on the theme of travel and gastronomy will be offered, provided by our corporate sponsors.

We hope you will join us to celebrate the start of our “Opération Sourire” Campaign, so that, together, we have the financial means to send more Japanese doctors and nurses in to the field, and build thoudands of smiles on children’s faces.
