AMADE Monaco presents cheque to Monaco Humanitarian Collective

* The following were in attendance: Isabelle Rosabrunetto (Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation), Anne Poyard-Vatrican (Deputy Director of International Cooperation), Frédéric Platini (Secretary General of the Monaco Red Cross), Professor Vincent Dor, Dr François Bourlon, Dr Jean-Joseph Pastor, Guy Nervo (Cardiothoracic Centre), the host families, and for AMADE Monaco, Jean-Pierre Campana (President) and Brigitte Lusignani (Vice-President). 

As a particular tribute to H.S.H. Princess Grace, who founded AMADE (Association Mondiale des Amis de l’Enfance) and was very committed to helping vulnerable children, the Association’s Board of Directors decided to support the Monaco Humanitarian Collective. The aim of the Collective is to carry out surgery in Monaco on children from developing nations, suffering from conditions that cannot be treated in their own countries.

The cheque was presented at the Cardiothoracic Centre, in the presence of members of the Collective (the Prince’s Government, the Monaco Red Cross and leaders of the host surgical team)*, as well as some of the children being cared for by the Collective: Moussa, Boubacar and Modibo from Mali, and Abdoul from Burkina Faso.

AMADE Monaco, whose aim is to support and promote physical, moral and spiritual wellbeing during childhood throughout the world, has been part of the Monaco Humanitarian Collective since it was founded in 2008.
