| | |  JKR contributes to Edinburgh Charity Fashion Show
J.K.Rowling recently contributed a Harry Potter box set to the Edinburgh Charity Fashion Show in aid of the Swaziland Charitable Trust and Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres. All in all the event raised £100,000 which will be used to build a new library and school for children orphaned because of AIDs in Swaziland.
One of the organisers of the event, Leonora Lonsdale, 19, a history and Spanish student at Edinburgh University, said: Quote:
"JK Rowling just happened to be in a department store at the same time as our chairman, Joshua Scales, who asked her if she could help out - and we were delighted to get a signed Harry Potter box set."

She's so generous. i cannot believe that some people criticizes her generosity... I saw an incredible article a few weeks ago that said she does not do enough...
