Bulgaria's European Commissioner Kristalina Georgieva is to be the patron of "Everything is Love" a charity concert the proceeds of which will be forwarded to "children of Haiti".

The event will be televised live by Bulgarian National Television (BNT) on February 14 2010, from 5.30pm until 6.30pm, according to an item on Dnevnik's website.

The venue for the event is the Modern Theatre in Sofia, and it will feature the theatre's own stars Iskra Angelova, Stefaniya Koleva, Ivan Radoev, Ivan Burnev, Margarita Gosheva, Kristiana Yaneva, Yavor Baharov plus guests Donny and Neti, Free Will Society, Signal, Milena and Review, Nassekomix, Studio Dance Zone and others.

According to the report, this would be "the last day when Bulgarians will be able to send humanitarian aid to the beleaguered island via SMS to 1255". The number is used by the Bulgarian Red Cross to gather funds to assist the earthquake-devastated island.

Proceeds from the tickets, priced at 15 leva, will also be sent to Haiti. The event is scheduled to commence at 5pm, half an hour prior to the start of the live broadcast. Modern Theatre in Sofia is near the corner of Evlogi Georgiev Boulevard and Vurbitsa Street.
