Celine’s Charity Work in South Africa

Fri, 15 February 2008 at 2:07 pm

Celine Dion holds hands with her 7-year-old son Rene Charles as she visits one of the centers of the African Children’s Feeding Scheme in Soweto, South Africa. Husband manager Rene Angelil (not pictured) was also there.

The ACFS (African Children’s Feeding Scheme) is an organization that provides meals for poor, orphaned and abandoned kids.

Celine, 39, kicked off her world tour yesterday Johannesburg, South Africa. She’s the highest-selling female artist in South Africa of all time.

You can catch a glimpse of the Canadian chanteuse in concert on Celine Dion: That’s the Woman in Me, an hour-long special on CBS, TONIGHT @ 9PM ET/PT. Tune in!!!!!

That’s awesome!! On a side-note, the little paragraph says she’s holding hands with her ’son’ ??? It looks like a girl to me. Probably a typo. *shrugs*

# 13

Ha! @ 02/15/2008 at 3:26 pm

He’s a cute kid. He may have long hair, but he has the face of a boy. And he’s dressed like a boy. If he were in, say, a dress I could understand the confusion.

IMO there’s nothing wrong with his hair being the length that it is. I heard CD state on a tv show that her son asked that it not be cut, and since he isn’t anyone’s responsibility but Celine’s and her husband (or Kate Hudson’s sons hair, or Maddox Jolie’s fauxhawk etc…) I’m always amused by those who take issue with other parents decisions concerning their children.

I’m from South Africa and can’t wait to see Celine on Sunday at Loftus Stadium, I can just imagine what people (Especially Americans) think of South Africa, us living in the bush with the animals and stuff and then seeing that picture with all the people and their cellphone cameras, and thinking to themselves, mmmmmmmm never thought they had cellphones there, never mind electricity to charge them with.

I thought that was Emerson, only to realised it;s Rene jr. He NEEDS to get a haircut.

# 22

yfw @ 02/15/2008 at 5:06 pm

he has long hair, big deal.

# 23

Linny @ 02/15/2008 at 5:46 pm

Please cut Rene’s hair! Everytime I see a pic of that boy I think he’s a girl and I have to remind myself. I don’t mind it being long but trip it a bit so it gets a boyish style! Otherwise but him in a dress and a bow and pretend he’s a girl because that’s what he looks like!

AHHHHHHHH OMG RENE CHARLES IS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!

CELINE IS AWESOME!!!!

CJ @ 02/15/2008 at 7:18 pm

I love Rene-Charles’s hair. I don’t see how people can think that he’s a girl. Look at his face. Besides, it suits him.

He needs a haircut…BADLY.

Wow, I’m shocked that Celine would have her son’s hair like that. I thought she was a nice wholesome girl but I guess I was wrong. Why would you want your 7 year old son to look like a Rock n Roll Drugged Out Lynard Skynard Freak? She’s not all there!

I’d love to have a running tally of how much africa gets from everyone. I already know how much the U.S gives them, why can’t these celebrities do more then go down and take photo ops? If these people can’t even afford “female goods” im sure they don’t have camera crews just prowling around, these celebrities must fly their own photo people down just to catch them kissing a black child, real nice, you guys are doing alot. Giving money to someone doesn’t help them become any better, it actually makes the problems they have worse.
