Management
Muriel Nann
Managing Director
«Each child is unique and his life deserves protection. It has a right to claim food and health and to grow up in a safe environment.
With our labour we should like to contribute our share to a global poverty alleviation and to this purpose I endeavour as a managing director all my energy and from all my heart.»
Cornelia Kolgeci-Häner
Assistant
«How you develop in life also depends on the opportunities you get. As a child in Switzerland, all paths were open to me. I was glad to go to school and found it a privilege to be able to choose as to how my education and its continuation should be. Today, it makes me happy to use my abilities to ensure needy children get a chance for a fortunate and self-determined life.»
Board
Barbara Streit-Stettler
President
«Our world only changes for the better when people think outside the box and act. I'm impressed by how Children's Care Emmaus has been helping children in the Third World in a personal way for decades and despite of all doesn't give up.»
Claudia Lautenschütz
Vice-President
«Since I may watch my children growing up, I have been aware of the importance of care and resonance in young lives. I support Children's Care Emmaus because it creates for children growing up in particularly disadvantaged circumstances a chance to receive care and encouragement.»
Daniel Steiner
Finances
»Our world increasingly divides into still more different financially ruled layers as a result of economic pressure. Coincidences like ‹where you come from›, ‹who you are› and ‹where you belong to› are often the sole reason which side you are on in life. In view of this some community efforts for the weaker is strongly advised in any society.»
Yvonne Heussi
Various activities
«I like the challenge within Children's Care Emmaus. I enjoy the work and also recognize its necessity.»
Voluntarily engaged
Children's Care Emmaus cooperates in Switzerland with many volunteers. These collaborators hold their leisure time and experience free of charge at the disposal of Children's Care Emmaus. Sometimes our office looks like a buzzing behieve in which the volunteers attend to their various activities. With great zeal they carry out regularly or spontaneously administrative or accounting tasks, translations, organizational jobs and a lot more. The joint and voluntary commitment leads to happy encounters. In addition, the commitment broadens the horizon for the problems of theThird World and awakens feelings, thoughts and an understanding of foreign cultures.
