Marking the International Children’s Day, the company Hoše komerc surprised the children of SOS Children’s Villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina with Bony cakes.
“Last year, on the same occasion, we surprised children without parental care in the Home for children without parental care in Bjelave, the year before last we hosted children from a Sarajevo kindergarten in our Confectionery Factory, and this year we surprised children from SOS Children’s Villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Unfortunately, even this year, due to the circumstances of the corona virus pandemic and the prescribed measures, we were not able to organize an event with children. We hope that next year there will be no restrictions and that we will be able to invite children again, and it will be an opportunity for the little ones to see for themselves how cakes and pastries are made, how machines work and why everything is so delicious,” said Amela Frlj Deputy Director of Retail at Hoše Komerc.
SOS Children’s Villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a humanitarian organization that cares for children and young people without parental care and gives them a chance for a happy childhood and a better future. In SOS families, with siblings and SOS parents, children grow up in a family environment with parental love. Every child deserves to belong somewhere, to be loved and safe. SOS Children’s Villages has been operating in Bosnia and Herzegovina for 25 years, providing hundreds of children with a warm family environment, love, a sense of belonging, education – an opportunity for a better future. SOS Children’s Villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been operating in Bosnia and Herzegovina since 1994 and is part of SOS Children’s Villages International, an international organization that has been operating in 136 countries around the world for more than 70 years, on all 5 continents.
On November 20, every year, International Children’s Day is marked as a day dedicated to children and their well-being. In 1959, on that day, the UN General Assembly adopted the “Declaration of the Rights of the Child”, and in 1989 the “Convention on the Rights of the Child”. It tried to determine the specific needs of children and youth, their specific problems related to development, growing up, exploitation, abuse. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most ratified human rights document worldwide.
