President Klaus Iohannis on Friday sent a message on the 25th anniversary of the SOS Satele Copiilor Romania / SOS Children's Villages Romania, asserting that this association is a model of intervention that should be extended at national level.
"Almost seven decades today, after the WWII was ended, out of a simple and noble initiative was kicked off what today represents an important international movement: SOS Children's Villages International. With repeated nominations to the Nobel Prize for Peace, the federation activates in over 130 countries offering the abandoned and orphan children or the families in risk situations, real chances to a better life. In Romania, the SOS Satele Copiilor association opened its gates barely in 1993, when a heartwarming people's team has acknowledged the importance of the parents in each child's life, by offering a family to those who don't have one or support and protection to those at risk to losing it. Ever since, more than 40,000 children continued to smile thanks to them," says president Iohannis in his message.
On Thursday, president Klaus Iohannis visited the SOS Satele Copiilor association, talked to the kids, held their hands, gave them gifts.
