Famous art is a French association aimed to support humanitarian causes for children.  Its programs include "Hope for Children" and “Happy School".

 

Fashion and art are the vehicles that will bring money and attention to these causes.
The principle is simple artistic actions mainly charity fashion shows will be presented in the country selected regarding the necessary problem.

A few months ago, a blind man from the blind institution in Ngwee Cameroon contacted famous art association, he was desperate to see if he could obtain beds and a solution to the dirty and unhealthy living conditions that the children and adults were living under, just four single beds to share in very shabby rooms.
Happily in May the fashion designers and artists joined together to perform the "TROPICAL FASHION SHOW" at the Foire de Paris certain sponsors donated and sufficient funds were obtained to finance the work needed to reconstruct the dormitory.

Our photographer Sebastian flew to Cameroon and joined the volunteers who participated in this wonderful action. Some were able to offer money, others their time but all were holding the sentimental emotions of which there is no cost, the price of love and generosity.
Laurence Messone who is responsible for the cultural section of Famous Art told Uzuri “I thank the young team for supporting us through this very moving situation I feel that freshness and a sense of well being has come into the life’s of these unfortunate blind children a little something and some decent beds for the little angels to sleep in.”

There are not so many gifts for the small children of Ngwee but there are people with big hearts who have heard their cries.
Sebastian Pouvesie on his return to France stated, "The memories will be forever engraved on my heart "I can no longer ignore what is happening in the world ... now my life has a sense of meaning...”
