Benicio is among the celebrities designing kites for charity.
The high-flyers will auction off their authentic Afghan kites
on eBay on December 5, 2007 as part of the
launch of Participant Productions, a social action campaign
which will coincide with the delayed release of new
Afghan movie The Kite Runner. Proceeds from the kite auction
will benefit the Afghanistan Relief Organization (ARO), which
helps raise cash for the training of teachers and the construction
of rural libraries in Afghanistan. People will also have
the opportunity to bid for the inclusion of their names
in the next book by the author of The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini.

Another review of Things We Lost In The Fire:
Nick Schager / Lessons Of Darkness
...a fierce, formidable performance from Benicio Del Toro.
...Del Toro conveys an awe-inspiring range of raw, naked emotions
that are all somehow amplified – rather than turned facile – by
his raft of quirky, crazy mannerisms.

In a recent interview, Bolivian casting director Rodrigo Bellot
talked about Guerrilla and The Argentine stating that Benicio
hired the directors for Guerrilla and The Argentine.
Because Benicio had purchased the rights to bring
Che to the big screen, he was the one who selected
Steven Soderbergh to direct both films.
"The project is Benicio's, he chose the director. He purchased
the rights seven years ago and wanted to work with Steven,
because of the relationship from Traffic…,'' recalled Bellot.
"Guerrilla and The Argentine are a mix
of talent from around
the world, the money is Spanish, with a gringo director,
a Puerto Rican portraying "Che'' Guevara,
a Bolivian casting director… See what I'm talking about?
We are children of the world,'' he stated.
