Weisz, Fiennes Commit to Constant Gardener Trust

There are not any events or deadlines on our radar for Tuesday, February 7, 2006. A lot of celebrities are in Los Angeles for tonight's MusicCares Tribute to James Taylor or rehearsing for the Grammy Awards and gearing up for the after parties the following day (more about them tomorrow). Other stars may be clearing out of Detroit following Super Bowl Sunday, perhaps heading to New York City for Olympus Fashion Week or the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, which continues through February 12.

So tonight I'll just share you with some anecdotes from the press room at last week's Screen Actors Guild Awards:

Beautiful Rachel Weisz quietly confided that she is committed to continue her support of the Constant Gardener Trust (constantgardenertrust.org) for at least the next five years. The org was established by Constant Gardener producer Simon Channing Williams. With the continued patronage of Weisz, co-star Ralph Fiennes, director Fernando Meirelles and author John le Carré, the people of Loiyangalani and Kibera - the largest slum in SubSaharan Africa, located in the center of Nairobi, Kenya - will benefit from the trust's core aims to improve education, water and sanitation conditions. You can learn more about the Constant Gardener Trust's goals and objectives in the Projects section of their website.
