Mayor of Berlin welcomes the new President of SOS Children's Villages

One of the most emotional moments was the meeting with six pupils from the E.O.-Plauen Primary School in Berlin-Kreuzberg. A group of mainly Muslim children had saved their pocket money during Ramadan and proudly handed over the amount of 200 Euros to Siddhartha Kaul. With this money the students want to help the children in the SOS Children's Villages in Syria and show their solidarity. Siddhartha Kaul, visibly moved by this sincere gesture, thanked the children from the bottom of his heart and praised the children’s initiative as a striking example of how important the support from Germany is for the international work of SOS Children's Villages.



Following the event at the SOS Vocational Training Centre in Berlin-Wedding, the nearby SOS Children's Village in Berlin-Moabit - the first of its kind in an urban agglomeration - was next on the president's itinerary. Finally, Siddhartha Kaul visited the first German SOS Children's Village in Dießen at the Ammersee at the exact opposite end of the German Republic.
