         opening of its revolutionary project, i Zone, a salon, store,

         readings, a jazz bar ... all under one roof at the brand-new

         What is Planet Hope?

         Co-founded by sisters Kelly and Sharon Stone, Planet Hope was
         launched in 1993 to actively change the plight of homeless
         children and their families through innovative year-round
         programs. Planet Hope's newest program is "Creative Kids," a
         theater program for children living in shelters that
         encourages them to express themselves through the arts. Other
         programs include Camp Planet Hope (summer camp), Homework
         Hope (afterschool tutoring program), Computer Hope (computer
         skills training and job placement) and many others.

         What is i Zone?

         multi-functional social and business space that aims to alter

         conventional space and explore the "i" in their
         individuality.
