Rowling to visit Romania to support children

Best-selling author JK Rowling is to visit Romania where she will take part in a fundraising gala to help children in need in Romania and across Europe, organisers said Monday.

Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, recently became a trustee of the newly established charitable foundation The Children’s High Level Group, which raises funds to support children in need, focusing in particular on child health and development in Romania and across Europe.
