The First lady of France, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, has plans to provide the French youths, who come from a poor background, with a scholarship. This scholarship is aimed at providing a help to achieve their dreams in the fashion industry.
Bruni, the wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, will make the scholarship programme available in the Parisian suburbs, which had been badly affedcted during the riot, which happened during 2005.
The Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Foundation would cover the suburbs in its “nationwide” focus that would include helping youths in neglected rural settings, Grégoire Verdeaux said while speaking for the charity, reports Times Online.
The foundation, which has been set up with the aim of helping the country’s “most vulnerable” citizens, will kick off by choosing the first batch of “Bruni scholars” from 30 high schools next year.
But Bruni will be gaining political mileage before she launches the scholarship.
Gilbert Roger, the mayor of Bondy, a town northeast of Paris, said: “Sarkozy is using his starlet to soften his image. She will sprinkle a bit of glitter about, but it is not sufficient.”
