Time4sharing.com, the worldwide charitable movement founded by Lebanese entrepreneur, Viviane Boulos-Tolan, major shareholder of Platinum International, entered the Guinness Book of World Records in Central Europe. The Charity created the longest human bridge in Prague, involving 812 orphans from all over the Czech Republic. This record-breaking event made national evening news that is watched by an estimated 4 million viewers in the Czech Republic; it was backed by Czech Airlines and GTS, the telecom giant in the Czech Republic.
Time4sharing.com was established in November 2000. It organizes fun events for underprivileged children worldwide.
On Friday the 1st of June, it organized a spectacular festival for children in a sports stadium in Prague, complete with famous rock bands, concerts, competitions and games for over 47 orphanages in the Czech Republic.
Volunteers from Beirut arrived to join efforts with 60 other Time4sharing.com volunteers from the Czech Republic, Germany, Malta and the United Kingdom.
Earlier this year, Platinum was responsible for creating and sponsoring the Czech-Lebanese friendship week, and presented a Lebanese cedar tree to the Deputy-Foreign Minister as a gesture of friendship between the two nations. Czech journalists were taken on a seven-day tour of the New Lebanon to "Rediscover Lebanon" and meet with many ministers and officials.
