ROCK FOR BOSNIA

ROCK FOR BOSNIA

War Child ist eine gemeinnützige, internationale Organisation, die Kindern in Kriegsgebieten helfen will. Gegründet wurde sie 1993 von den Filmemachern Bill Leeson und David Wilson. Ihre Idee war, die eigene Prominenz zu nutzen, um Geld und Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen. Ausschlaggebend für die Gründung war das filmische Engagement der beiden im ehemaligen Jugoslawien während des dortigen Krieges 1993.

War Child ist in vielen Ländern aktiv, dazu gehören Australien, Niederlande, USA und Frankreich.
