British actress Sienna Miller will donate a Cartier handbag to help raise money for Haiti relief efforts. Sienna carried the purse to the premiere of the action flick, G.I Joe: The Rise of the Cobra.
The designer bag will be auctioned alongside some of director Ridley Scott’s personal effects at the screening of documentary Ghosts of Cite Soleil on February 26 at Notting Hill’s Electric Cinema. The documentary, which explores life in the slums of Haiti, stars Wyclef Jean. All monies raised will benefit Action Against Hunger’s emergency Haiti appeal.
While Sienna will not attend the screening, she hopes her donation will help the quake-affected area.
“Haiti is still in desperate need of our attention, and our aid. The column inches may fade, but we must not forget the survivors. Please attend the Ghosts of Cite Soleil screening to learn more about this country that has touched us all, whilst raising vital funds for Haiti one of the poorest countries in the world,” she said.
Tickets to the screening are available for a minimum £15 donation through the JustGiving website.
