The French actor and director visited children hospitalized at HUG this Friday. Sponsor of the Edhen philanthropic fund, he explains to us why solidarity is essential.
This afternoon, Elie Semoun was at the HUG at the bedside of sick children. “I chatted and laughed with them. It’s trying for us, but I think we brought them a smile and a little levity. Seeing a child suffer is very destabilizing,” says the actor. Elie Semoun is engaged for several associations and claims it. “Notoriety has to be for something. I am actively involved because we have to get things moving and advance research.”
Elie Semoun and Magid Khoury, founder of the Edhen fund, had already done a similar action during the Covid, but had not been able to talk to the sick. “He’s a good person, he has a big heart”, says Elie Semoun, speaking of Magie Khoury. The Edhen fund will also soon create scholarships to help young people in reintegration.
