World Orphan Week
01/09/2006
Thank you ...
for making a real difference to so many orphaned and abandoned children's lives during WOW 2006. You can read John's story which shows how a loving family environment can transform a child's life.
The next World Orphan Week is being held on 4th - 10th Feb 2008 and we want you to ...
'wear something WOW'
A fun and fabulous way to support the world's largest orphan charity.
In February 2008, school kids, office workers, mums and dads up and down the country will be wearing soemthing wacky, extravagant or just plain out of the ordinary to support World orphan Week, SOS Children's annual fundraising campaign.
Wear something WOW! is all about having fun and brining a bit of colour and sparkle to the otherwise dreary month of February. But most importantly, it is about giving orphaned and vulnerable children around the world the chance to grow up in a loving, secure family.
Maybe you'll go for just a few feathers in your hair or maybe you'll go mad and dress up as if you're about to hit the red carpet on Oscars night. However you choose to take part you will be helping to raise vital funds for many orphaned and abandoned children's lives around the world.
For your FREE fundraising pack please email info@worldorphanweek.com.
As the world's largest orphan charity we care for over 60,000 children in our amazing SOS Children's Villages where orphaned and abandoned children are able to live in a safe and loving environment with an SOS Mother. More details about the work of SOS Children are available on the website.
How your money could be spent?
£6.40 could pay for a child's food for a month in an SOS Children's Village
£7.50 pays for one term's school fees or will buy a school uniform
£50 would vaccinate ten children against polio
Coming Soon: You can download posters, a fundraising guide, stickers, activity sheets and lots of other fun and useful items to make your WOW day really WOW!
