** Well this is what it says:
We are glad to announce that Grand Hotel Casino has won the evening gown designed by Gai Mattiolo, worn by Antonella Clerici during the 55th edition of the Italian Sanremo Song Festival.
The dress was put on auction on e-Bay. The proceeds (EUR 26.150,00) will be entirely donated to Avamposto 55, solidarity project created for the Darfur region. Darfur is located at the extreme west of Sudan and borders with Libia and Ciad. Since 2003, conflicts have affected almost 2 million civilians.
Almost 200,000 people have found refuge by crossing the border to Ciad, while over 1.8 million are left homeless in the Sudanese region and the numbers are expected to rise to 2 million. Janjaweed militants continue to forcefully chase habitants of the Darfur out of their own homes, destroying wells, burning villages and stealing vital live stock.
The project Avamposto 55 consists of a children's hospital located at the border of the city Nyala and of a school with medical facilities.
Grand Hotel Casino is proud to have been able to give its small contribution and solidarity to this important cause. " **
