World Vision awards the Embassy of Switzerland in the Philippines with One for Children Seal World Vision Development Foundation awarded the One For Children seal to The Embassy of Switzerland in the Philippines in a Project Salute ceremony held on March 8, 2022. World Vision National Director Rommel V. Fuerte and Resource Director Jun Godornes handed over the plaque, which in turn was received by Swiss Ambassador Alain Gaschen. The Embassy of Switzerland in the Philippines launched the Angels for Angels Campaign last Christmas, in partnership with SM Supermalls and SPARK Philippines. The campaign aims the furthering of women empowerment, livelihood, and nutrition, by working with various women communities around the country to produce sustainable Christmas ornaments. “We at World Vision are humbled by your support to our advocacies which revolve around upholding the best interests of all children,” shared Fuerte. “Such endeavors for children are made more meaningful and its impact made more significant with partners like you, and with projects like Angels for Angels – where kindness and generosity become contagious and its practice a never ending cycle”. Ambassador Gaschen expressed that Angels for Angels envisions to be a source of hope in these unclear times. “Solidarity has always been a Swiss value that we continue to embody, and we hope that this undertaking could serve as a bright light to those who need it.” The donation will be used to support World Vision’s health and nutrition initiatives, impacting the lives of 24,000 of our sponsored children. World Vision prioritizes programs that will help children and their families eat nutritious food, have access to clean water, enjoy quality health services, and are well-informed about infectious diseases like TB, HIV, and AIDS.
