Save the People, Save a Nation Sudan Hope VIP Fundraising Gala to be Held in Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Saturday night November 21st, 2009, The Renaissance Hollywood Hotel will be the site of a Hollywood Red Carpet, VIP fundraising Gala to support the causes of the non-profit charity organization Sudan Hope.

The event will be hosted by producer / actor and member of the Sudan Hope Board of Directors, Dr. Mark Valinsky.

A select guest list of VIP's from Entertainment, Business. Politics and Philanthropic backgrounds will be presented with an introductory insight into the upcoming film "Without A Voice". Attendees will hear the life changing story of how Mr. Les LaMotte and Mr. Stephen Chambang, were able to "Take Action" and "Empower" 250,000 villagers during the Sudan war conflict and help save their lives by supplying the "Boat of Hope".

The film "Without A Voice" is in pre production. It is a story inspired by Les LaMotte who began shooting the footage in March of 2009 in South Sudan when the two co-founders, Les LaMotte, Executive Director and Stephen Chambang, Director of African Affairs after 8 years were able to meet in Stephen's home village of Maker, located in the Eastern Upper Nile region of South Sudan, Africa.

Based on the accomplishments of the leadership of Sudan Hope, the organizers, Les LaMotte, Stephen Chambang and Mark Valinsky have been asked to expand their work to all of East Africa to launch the Sudan Hope Network(TM) which will include purpose based learning via the internet, video and live presentations in conjunction with major US based universities.

This VIP fundraiser will initiate the next great task to supply 3 million textbooks and 36 multipurpose network buildings in our commitment for the next 3 years.

Using an innovative and resourceful approach, new buildings will be constructed from the textbook shipping containers. These specialized containers will be enhanced with plumbing, electrical and water utilities using the latest "Green" technology and sensitivity. They will be powered by both solar and wind energy sources. These technologies will also be made on site and taught to local people to develop entrepreneurial development.

These multi functional building structures will serve to improve the lives of over 9 million South Sudanese people. They are designed to be facilitate libraries, medical clinics, schools and entrepreneurial training and consultation centers. The facilities will also aid the over 1 million war handicapped, widows and orphans of South Sudan, as they will be cared for and trained in valuable, new useable skills.

As part of the Gala Fund Raising event guests will experience a "Sneak Preview" of the very timely and strategic upcoming documentary and feature film "Without A Voice" projected with the next generation, advanced breakthrough technology of 4K video, onto a 17' x12' screen.

In addition, there will be the "Live" Musical Release of "Without A Voice". The song lyrics are written by Les LaMotte, 2009 Nominee for the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, Jason Roberge (Minneapolis, MN) and Peter Farrell (Glascow, Scotland). The music was composed and produced by Raphael DeGiorgio of Diamonddreamsmusic.com and a live vocal presentation of the movie's theme song will be performed by the young female rising star - Artist, Writer and Music Producer, Moriah.
