23 July 2007

We are very excited to announce a very successful kick-off of the SupportingLives programme in the Czech and Slovakia Republic. It took place in Austria on the 23rd of July as a part of our Summer conference – a celebration of “25th” anniversary of Nutricia’s operation. Our people were so excited about the programme we were delighted to see that we can actually give a new dimension to our company values – mostly CARE.

Altogether 125 employees both from the Babyfood and Clinical Division took part in the kick-off. After the presentation, about SOS villages, including touching stories of 2 children from Aït Ourir and very emotional videos about SOS Children’s Villages we could see the excitement increasing.

The kick-off was a great success. We managed to collect enough money to finance the first project which is the financing of a watering system in the Village. We believe that this in return is an educational project with respect to environment and savings.

We are sure that with our joined forces we can now roll out the whole programme also externally and do even more to raise funds and build awareness about our programme also among our consumers and partners. Now comes the fascinating period of creativity, generation of ideas and activities with the main effort to help those, who really need our care and support.

We will do our best to ensure that children in Aït Ourir will get a chance for a better life filled with love, care and support!

Best regards,

SupportingLives Team
