    Manuela Doerig, member since the 1970s, Switzerland:
    “I donate to several associations but Enfants du Monde is still my favourite. For me, being a member is a way of showing loyalty and therefore support for the association and its work. Just as importantly, children and their education are a cause that touches me deeply. What I like about Enfants du Monde is the fact that it is relatively small. At the same time, Enfants du Monde strikes me as a strong and active organisation.”
