UNICEF-HEBA: A hug for the children

UNICEF and HEBA join forces in order to aid towards the protection of child rights in Greece and the entire world. In views of this collaboration, the encounter amongst Panathinaikos and Panionios for Basket League OPAP 2012-13 Game Day 9 is dedicated to the two institutes’ common goal.

In views of this collaboration, slightly prior to tip-off both teams hugged the children and UNICEF’s effort in their own way, conveying their own message, read by Kostas Tsartsaris:

“UNICEF protects children all over the world. In Greece, UNICEF develops important programs for the children’s benefit and supports their rights. Through its programs, UNICEF protects child health, providing them with medicine, vaccines, food and clean water. It sends the children to school and protects them from violence and abuse. United with UNICEF we all put an end to discriminations, we protect child rights and create a better tomorrow for all children, in Greece and the entire world”.

UNICEF paved the way worldwide as far as sensitizing common opinion on issues faced by children and HEBA leaps to the opportunity with great joy and also a sense of responsibility to become a “teammate” in this project of dire importance.

In these extremely difficult situations for our society, UNICEF and HEBA send out a loud message of humanitarianism and hope, aiding towards the relief of children in need of us, in their entertainment, in their battle against racism and xenophobia.
