120 Years W&H: SOS Childrens Villages visit W&H Dentalwerk Bürmoos |
||
|
As the world's first manufacturer of dental transmission instruments and devices, W&H has long been known for its high-quality products and social awareness. In its official anniversary year, from 6 April 2010 to 31 March 2011, W&H will be even more active in the social realm by offering long-term support to SOS Children's Villages. At the launch of the anniversary year, W&H welcomed a children?s group from SOS Children's Village Seekirchen on 8 April 2010. With the motto "I'm not scared of the dentist", the children had the opportunity to examine up-close the production of traditionally feared dental instruments and also to test them out. This visit also shaped the beginning of a long-term humanitarian campaign: During its anniversary year, W&H Dentalwerk Bürmoos will mainly be supporting the Family Strengthening Programme in Kakiri, Uganda, initiated by SOS. Thanks to this support, the financing of the entire programme will be secure for more than two years. The Family Strengthening Programme in Kakiri was established in 2006 by SOS Children's Villages, in order to provide support for children and families who need help as a result of poverty or illness. The goal is to improve their health and their social situation. This is not a normal SOS children's village, but rather a programme for an entire region. At present, the programme assists around 480 children from 130 families. Its activities include: medical assistance for families, securing basic food for families, and educational programmes for children of school age. In addition to the Family Strengthening Programme in Kakiri, Uganda, which is directly supported by W&H Dentalwerk Bürmoos, other SOS Children's Villages campaigns are being carried out by W&H subsidiaries and area managers. Celebrate 120 years of W&H and help us support SOS Children's Villages - staying true to the W&H company philosophy: People have Priority. Details at: http://www.wh.com View Pictures |
