*Press Release*
Munich, 28 Mai 2020
*SOS Children's Villages International and Fix&Foxi Channel are celebrating
International Children's Day! *
*The International Children's Day on June 1st is dedicated to all children
on the Fix & Foxi Channel. For this special occasion, Fix & Foxi TV will air
inspiring short episodes featuring life in different SOS Children's Villages
all over the world.*
On the occasion of the International Children's Day on June 1, 2020, kids
and family channel Fix & Foxi TV, in cooperation with the SOS Children's
Villages, is celebrating all children of the world. In entertaining and
visually stunning short reports from international SOS Children's Villages,
children from all over the world provide insights into their lives, explain
typical customs and talk about their dreams and wishes.
One of the episodes, for instance, portrays Alumi and her three little
brothers in the SOS Children's Village of Zarate (Peru) on an exciting day
when she receives mail from her godfather in Germany! In another short
episode, 12-year-old Sneha shows us around her SOS Children's Village in
Alwaye-Cochin, India, where she found her new family. In another one,
"Clowns Without Borders" visit a village in Bolivia, where they hold
educational-therapeutic sessions to teach children how to deal with problems
and difficulties. In Egypt, the SOS Children's Villages promotes talented
13-year-old Niema, who sings wherever and whenever she can. And Niema and
her group even managed to perform on the big stage in Cairo's Opera House.
"In this current challenging time for children, it is more important than
ever to highlight the wonderful work of SOS Children's Villages
International. Albert Einstein said: "There is no great discoveries and
advances, as long as there is only one unhappy child on earth"- it is
exactly the reason why our years of cooperation with SOS Children's Villages
International fill us with pride and joy" says Laurence Robinet, Chief
Broadcast Officer of YFE AG.
Dr. Wilfried Vyslozil, executive chair of SOS Children's Villages
International, emphasizes the urgency of the issue: "In one of the greatest
crisis in recent history, the weakest members of our societies shall not be
forgotten. Especially in times like these, children need a loving and
reliable home and the strengthening of their self-confidence. The SOS
Children's Villages are committed to this mission and Fix & Foxi support us
a lot in generating vivid attention for this important cause. We are very
grateful for that."
*About SOS Children's Villages International *
All SOS Children's Villages are part of an independent charitable
organisation founded by Hermann Gmeiner in 1949. His mission was to give
every abandoned child in need the chance to grow up in a setting just like
any other child: in safety, with a mother and siblings in a house in a
village. These four principles - a mother, siblings, a house and a village -
gave rise to a global organisation that is primarily funded through private
donations. Today, the organisation is active in 137 countries, with
worldwide Children's Villages and more than 2,000 other SOS institutions
such as kindergartens, schools, youth centres, vocational training and
social centres, health clinics, emergency aid projects and SOS Family Aid.
SOS Children's Villages supports around 1.5 million children and their
families around the world.
