Céline helping Sowetan families

Celine makes life sweet for needy

 

Gabisile Ndebele

 

SINGER Celine Dion is living up to her promise of giving poor Sowetan mothers and children “the treats of life”.

 

She is donating R300 000 a year, for five years, to be used for parties at the African Children’s Feeding Scheme.

 

In February last year, Dion, who performed in the country, visited the scheme in Soweto with her husband, René Angélil, and was deeply saddened to see how many mothers and children were hungry.

 

Publicist Penny Stein said: “Right then and there the couple made a five- year commitment to the feeding scheme, with a very generous offer of funding from the Celine Dion Foundation to ensure that the children also get to enjoy fun stuff.”

 

 

Dion said then: “I want these kids and mothers to also enjoy the treats of life. Let them have more than just the basics that they are receiving on a daily basis — something to look forward to.”

 

Stein said last week she called Dion to remind her of her commitment.

 

“ In two days the cheque for R300 000 arrived from her” she said.

 

God bless her....:wub: :wub:

aww..she is so sweet!! :wub:

 

And I love how she doesn't make big a fuzz about her donations....some people do it and to me they are just fishing for good publicity. :glare:

Celine just keeps adding to the list of charities she supports. :angel: :flowers2:

Especially when she was in Las Vegas didn't the official site list like 10?

That's exactly one thing I want to tell Celine to her face when I have a good moment with her again hopefully. "I think you're the most wonderful human being in the world," (or something like that.) :throb: :hug: :kiss1: :wub2:

* December 18, 2008. 1st time ever in front row for a concert and it was with my idol Celine!

Dream #1 accomplished.

 

While singing a ballad the only time Celine looked at me was the time I had my sign up luckily!

She stretched out her arm palm faced up while singing with even more emotion in her eyes when she saw it, so it seemed like it was just for me at that moment.

Dream #2 accomplished with the extra bonus!

 

She came and left on my side. I went out 1 row, held up my sign and she stopped, held it herself,

and just looked at it with an awe expression on her face, stunned and amazed when she saw all the glitter!

She looked me in the eyes with those beautiful brown eyes of hers she was tuned into me at that moment and didn't look away, again her looking so emotional as I said with a sincere look on my face to her "It took me 5 hours to make this." (could have been more not sure)

She looked down and away very touched like maybe she wanted to cry then she HUGGED me!!!

She held me for more than just a moment She really took her time! I said to her while about to cry from the hug, "I love you so much!" Then that was it I don't think she said a word to me.

I was crying and saying omg all night with my heart racing and my mind in SHOCK from the unexpected hug and my eyes so sore from crying. I was ready to drop when I got home, but was so emotional I stayed up until 6:30 a.m.! Cried a little for a few days after. Sign and front row seat saved the day!

Dream #3 accomplished... Me at :13 NOT my video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L62QJoUgN80

Aww. That's great. I love how much she cares, and how when she says she's gonna do something, she actually does it. :D
