                            (Mission statement for SOS Children's Villages)

Gail first became aware of SOS Children's Villages whilst working in Thailand (a long long time ago!). SOS Children's Villages is an International Non-Governmental Social Development Organisation that has been active in the field of children's rights and committed to children's needs and concerns since 1949. Over 60,000 orphaned and abandonded children live in SOS Children's Villages. Thousands more receive care through family strengthening programmes. Vulnerable families and those living in difficult conditions are also helped.

SOS Children's Villages is active in many of the Countries Gail has worked/been involved with during her career and are probably active in most of the Countries you have visited on holiday too. Negash, our driver/guide in Ethiopia has a friend who grew up with the support of SOS Children's Villages in Ethiopia. So if you would like to make a difference, and help someone in your holiday destination, why not consider helping an SOS Children's Village.   Find out more  at SOS Children's Villages.

If you would like to contribute to SOS Children's Villages please consider doing so through making a donation  or sponsoring a child.   Your money will go directly to helping children or funding projects requiring emergency help (the administration is run through using tax reclaimed through gift aid).
