4/2/2010
Dear friends, The President of ATA , Mr Laurie Briggs, has informed its members about a 2-years donation to the SOS Children Village wih the following words:
Hello Members
Last week a number of the ATA committee members visited the SOS village in Lefkosa and made a donation of £1000 on your behalf. This represented £500 for last year and £500 for this years donation. It is the committee’s intention to maintain this support for the village.
After our visit the directors of the SOS sent us the following information about their work. Hopefully this will give you all an idea of the work the SOS do for the children.
Best wishes

Dear President and Members,
Thank you again for your interest of our association for supporting our children in need.
As you know SOS Children˜s Village pioneered a family approach to the long-term care of orphaned and abandoned children.
This concept is based on four principles:
The Mother
Each child has a caring parent
The SOS mother builds a close relationship with every child entrusted to her, and provides the security, love and stability that each child needs. As a child-care professional, she lives together with the children, guides their development, and runs her household independently. She recognises and respects each child˜s family background, cultural roots and religion.
Brothers and Sisters
Family ties grow naturally
Girls and boys of different ages live together as brothers and sisters, with natural brothers and sisters always staying within the same SOS family. These children and their SOS mother build emotional ties that last a lifetime.
The House
Each family creates its own home The house is the family home, with its own unique feeling, rhythm and routine. Under its roof, children enjoy a real sense of security and belonging. Children grow and learn together, sharing responsibilities and all the joys and sorrows of daily life.
The Village
The SOS family is a part of the community
SOS families live together, forming a supportive village environment where children enjoy a happy childhood. The families share experiences and offer one another a helping hand. They also live as integrated and contributing members of the local community. Through his or her family, village and community, each child learns to participate actively in society.
How can you help us?
SOS Children's Village and Youth Facilities are open to all types of help. There is need for both financial and moral support, so that our children and youths that are gathered under one roof may be given a family atmosphere, be psychologically stable, and from a social perspective so as to be able to agreeable and lead a love filled of life. They are the children all of us. We must hold hands and give financial and moral support so that they become useful individuals for our future. Because they have the right to be happy life, is above all theirs.
