2019, another special set - SAVE THE CHILDREN
« on: July 01, 2015, 14:06:10 »
in 2019 a century has passed since the SAVE THE CHILDREN fund was founded in london.
https://www.savethechildren.net/  :love:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_the_Children  :love:
it started as a way to stop starvation among post-ww1 german chindren.
geobra is german and playmobil is a german toy.
a lot has hapenned since in the last 100 years.
germany doesn't need any help now.
but its companies can (and some do) help
geobra could use this anniversary and create a partnership with STC.
thay could make a special edition set to raise money.
they could send leftover sets to the several countries where STC works.
food and toys.  :)
it would be nice.

They could rerun their anti-child soldiers campaign:

I think that's a great idea, cachalote.

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

What a good suggestion, am sure we would all support fund raising for a children's charity  :D.

After seeing the unbearably sad photos from Bodrum, Turkey on the international news yesterday I think this idea should be put forward as soon as possible   :'( :'( :'(

Good idea could be a win win great way to raise awareness and funds for a good charity. Those figures in the photo are very well made but, the photos themselves rather sad  :'( that in itself could be a good way to raise awareness of the issues some children face
