Doll for UNICEF will help children

Adopt a doll and you will save a life. This is an action which was set up by the company MAGSY, s.r.o. and already saved the lives of even several children. In this week we took part in an auction of dolls for UNICEF and we succeeded in auctioning the cute witch Kveta !

Benefit auction of dolls

The auction which was full of tension took place in the Congress Center in Zlin on Wednesday, May 30, in the framework of the 52th International Film Festival for children and youngsters. Dozens of participants battled for sixteen dolls which had been produced by reknown Czech artists, e.g. Lucie Bila, Jan Censky, Felix Slovacek, Valerie Zawadska or Libuse Sedinova whose doll was blessed for UNICEF even by cardinal Miloslav Vlk.

The revenue from the auction was dedicated by UNICEF to the support of its vaccination programs thanks to whom every year more than three million children are saved from death by lethal diseases (measles, diphtheria, whooping cough, tuberculosis, tetanus and polio). During the auction in Zlin almost 110.000 Czech Crowns were yielded and thanks to this money 179 children from the poorest countries can be helped.

And what is substantial - also our MAGSY contributed with his share to this success! After a long struggle we succeeded in selling the valuable doll which had been produced by the Czech actress Kveta Fialova.

The doll is the little witch Kveta into whom her creator put all her positive, never ending energy. And she brings luck not only to us but also to those children who most need it.

How UNICEF helps?

UNICEF (Children's fund of the UNO) is the main world organization which is engaged in the protection and improvement of the living conditions of children and the support of their development into all directions. It works together with local communities and governments in 157 countries of the world in order to grant to those who need it most immediate humanitarian help, long term development in the fields of health care, instruction and protection of children.

Worldwide activity ensures to broadly exploit the knowledge and the experience which are connected to the aid for children whereas the continuous presence of UNICEF on the site means that they are prepared to intervene immediately in case of emergency (85 % of the co-workers of UNICEF work directly in areas to where the aid is directed).
