Wentworth Miller Online

{nl}{nl}The{nl}participants in the project, Wentworth Fans For Charity, would like to{nl}invite all of Wentworth’s fans to join them in raising money in{nl}Wentworth’s name for the children’s charity, UNICEF.{nl}{nl}The project was conceived as a way for Wentworth’s fans to show{nl}their appreciation and support for their favorite actor by donating to{nl}a favored charity nominated by him.{nl}{nl}While expressing his deep{nl}appreciation for the offer, in response to the suggestion, Wentworth{nl}advised that rather than him nominating a charity of his choice, he{nl}would like the fans to select the charity, and he would make a generous{nl}donation to that cause along with them.{nl}[http://www.wentworthfansforcharity.org/WM_Donation_Statement.pdf]{nl}{nl}The charity which was chosen is one which is not only an eminently{nl}worthwhile cause, but also, due to its vast international reach, is one{nl}which hopefully will appeal to the greatest majority of Wentworth’s{nl}fans around the world. UNICEF’s goals for children are broad and{nl}all-encompassing. Their mission is to advocate for the protection of{nl}children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their{nl}opportunities to reach their full potential. UNICEF is guided by the{nl}Convention on the Rights of the Child and strives to establish{nl}children’s rights as enduring ethical principles and international{nl}standards of behavior towards children.{nl}{nl}More information on the organization can be found at [http://UNICEF.org].{nl} {nl}Wentworth has also sent a{nl}message for fans with regard to this project:{nl} {nl}”It’s my privilege to{nl}be a part of the entertainment business, an industry that has reached{nl}out to and touched the lives of billions of people around the world. {nl}It gives me tremendous pleasure to think that many of those same people{nl}have been motivated to reach out to others in turn.{nl} {nl}This charitable effort{nl}was conceived, organized and executed by a group of generous fans{nl}willing to donate their time and energies to a worthy cause.  I’m{nl}honored to participate in this process, and I thank you for doing the{nl}same.”
