Thanks to everyone who attended or donated to the film premiere of "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas". $6,400 was raised for the Lasallian Development Project in Mannar, Sri Lanka.
The Lasallian Foundation is proud to present an exclusive preview screening of the film adaptation of "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" on March 22nd, 6pm at the Classic Cinema in Elsternwick. The film tells of the Holocaust experienced through the eyes of a child and the friendship between the son of a Nazi concentration camp commander, Bruno and a young Jewish prisoner, Shmuel, who is one of Bruno’s father’s prisoners.
This movie event will raise funds to support a Lasallian Foundation project for current children of war in Mannar suffering due to the ongoing civil war in Sri Lanka. The Lasallian Foundation is helping to establish a vocations program through the Lasallian Development Project (LDP) for these boys to help them learn skills that will give them opportunities for their future.
100% of the ticket money will be donated to this project thanks to the generosity of our sponsors: Major sponsor Miramax and Walt Disney Studios Australia, and sponsors Akambo Private Wealth and Nick Newtown for New Stores Pty Ltd T/A McDonalds Lilydale and McDonalds Mooroolbark.
