Michael Douglas backs fight against land mines
Actor Michael Douglas, Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, singer-songwriter Moby and Angola’s first lady had the same mission yesterday – promoting the first international day to spotlight global efforts to get rid of millions of land mines in 82 countries.
Douglas presented Adopt-A-Minefield’s humanitarian award to Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the United Nations at a lavish fundraising dinner at the UN Headquarters in New York cooked by five famous chefs who donated their services and helped raise thousands of dollars for the organisation.
