As part of a fundraising event, I was involved in organising a celebrity dinner to raise money for humanitarian work and raising awareness for the work of the United Nations. Highlighting the United Nations Foundation, esteemed guests Ted Turner (Founder of CNN), Prof. Amartya Sen (Nobel Peace Prize Economist), Paulo Coelho (best-selling author), Carol Vorderman (TV Presenter), Jonathan Granoff (Director of GSI) and Sir James Mirrlees (Prize winning economist) engaged in dialogue reflecting their work and the United Nations.

Actress, Milla Jovavich introduced the finale act, Joss Stone (singer) onto the stage, where she sang three of her record breaking tracks including "Super Duper Love". The dinner invitees consisted of celebrities and billionaires with much paparazzi glamour. Celebrities in the photos include: Vivienne Westwood (Designer), Paul Anderson (film director), Amir Dossal (UN diplomat) and Stelios Haji-Ioannou (founder of EasyJet).
