The Dominique James Celebrities Photo Exhibit
Supports Cause For Children

The
most famous movie and television stars, recording and performing
artists as well as sports personalities photographed by celebrity
shooter Dominique James joins Philamlife Foundation's Aid for
Basilan Children (ABC) fund drive.
A major
part of the proceeds on the sale of the black-and-white celebrity
portraits from the "Famous" exhibit currently on display
until August 3 at the Lobby Gallery of Philamlife Building in
United Nations will go directly to the ABC fund.
The ABC
project of Philamlife in partnership with the Philippine Business
for Social Progress (PBSP) aims to raise funds for the educational
support of the children in Basilan. The fund will provide school
materials, nutritious meals and transportation fare so that
they can go to school the whole year round amidst the backdrop
of military campaign to restore peace and order in Basilan.
The fund will alleviate the plight of the children who suffer
the most in a hostile environment.
