The road to "100 Youngsters for Romania's Development" passes through Hollywood and Broadway

Charlize Maalouf is a paragon of tenacity and fervour for the arts, serving as an exemplar for young people across the country, encouraging them to pursue their aspirations. Notably, the gifted young individual with an illustrious background has recently joined the Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania's nationwide "100 Youngsters for Romania's Development" initiative.

Prior to being able to speak fluently in sentences, Charlize sings. From an early age, she has participated in a number of events, acted in plays, danced, dubbed cartoons, and landed leading roles in Children's Comedy Opera plays, winning the appreciation of audiences. At the age of 14, she is currently enrolled at the Cambridge School of Bucharest, while simultaneously achieving international success and performing alongside Tom Odell and Nikos Vertis. In a highly competitive environment, she was selected for the Broadway training programme for children in New York, USA. Her performance was particularly noteworthy given that she was the only child selected from outside the United States. Ten solo parts were available for selection as part of this elite project, and Charlize was selected to perform in one of them, thereby demonstrating her exceptional talent.

The Broadway training programme constituted merely the inaugural stage of her professional development. Charlize's skills and dedication enabled her to secure a solo role in another training project, this time in London. On the esteemed stage of His Majesty's Theatre, she enthralled audiences with her performance, further enhancing her promising career.

Furthermore, Charlize was a finalist in Sanremo Junior, an internationally renowned competition that brings together the world's most talented young artists. This accomplishment has solidified her reputation as a rising star in the global arts industry.

The year 2020 saw another significant accolade bestowed upon Charlize Maalouf. At the World Arts Championships in Hollywood, USA, she was awarded a silver medal in a competition that attracted participants from hundreds of countries and thousands of competitors from around the globe. This exceptional performance once again demonstrated Charlize's exceptional talent and dedication, confirming her status as a future international star.

The involvement of Charlize Maalouf in the "100 Youngsters for Romania's Development" initiative is not only a testament to her remarkable accomplishments but also a demonstration of her commitment to fostering the growth and advancement of young talent in Romania. Charlize's example demonstrates that, despite the obstacles that may arise, with sufficient passion and determination, any aspiration can be achieved.

The "100 Youngsters for Romania's Development" campaign was initiated with the intention of fostering national unity and identity. Its objective is to highlight the accomplishments of Romania's most distinguished children and young people, who have achieved renown on a national and international scale through their passion, dedication, and talent.

The 100 young people who have brought great credit to Romania and who have distinguished themselves through their exemplary performances will be included in the inaugural catalogue of Romanian excellence, which will be launched by the Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania at the end of this year.
