Under the patronage of H.E. Mr. Ziad Baroud;
Charles’s family and the Charles Chikhani
Foundation will be hosting a special event on
June 20th, 2010 at the St.Georges church
Bickfaya for the inauguration of La Rose de
Charles by famous sculptor Rudy Rahme.
The art work inauguration will take place at
6:30 p.m. presented by the artist himself that
will be followed by a piano concert performed by
Philippe el hajj.
The idea of Charles’ rose originated from
Charles’ friends desire to support his mother on
the 21st of March 2008; 6 months after his
departure. Ever since La Rose de Charles
has been all over Lebanon: on mothers’ day 2008
groups of volunteers went to visit the families
of bombing victims offering them a white rose.
In 2009 Charles’ Rose visited the SOS villages
and white roses were planted at the villages.
On June 20th, La Rose de Charles created
by Rudy Rahme will be planted in Bickfaya in
order to remind every passer-by of the message
of hope that it carries.
