As I explored Save the Children and
was sent a press release to my email about the singer-songwriter Camila
Cabbello becoming the new Ambassador for Save the Children. I am actually very impressed that celebrities
are joining to raise awareness and become advocates for Save the Children’s all
around the world. I enjoyed reading
what she said in a press compress that I would like to share with you:
“Save
the Children is committed to making sure that every child has the best chance
for success, whether it’s giving them an education or protecting them during
emergencies,” said Cabello. “I am so connected with their mission, and I’m
incredibly honored to be named an ambassador for the organization. I am eager
to continue using my voice on behalf of kids in need all around the world.”
Camila
was supporting the island of Puerto Rico as they were impacted by Hurricane Maria. She traveled with Save the Children and
visited a daycare in the rural mountainous region where Hurricane Maria ripped
through homes, schools and buildings.
She sat down with a group of children and read a book to them. She also had a concert and donated her
proceeds to Save the Children Hurricane Maria Relief Fund.
I
am very impressed with the work that Save the Children are doing to help
children cope with the trauma and loss and to help them reduce stress as well
as teach the to become resilient. I am
very happy to have subscribed to the news because I can see that they are truly
engaged in helping children.

Miguel,
ReplyDeleteThank you sharing the story about Saving the Children's Ambassador Camila Cabello. Her musical gift and talent could be a true asset to the social and emotional support programs, Journey of Hope and Healing and Education through the Arts (HEART) as they serve the children and their families in Puerto Rico. These two programs are going to be essential to the children and their families as they heal from the traumatic experience caused by Hurricane Maria. Do you know what her future goals and aspirations are for Saving the Children as she serves as their new ambassador?
Wishing you well,
Donna
Hello Miguel!
ReplyDeleteI think it is great that the Save the Children organization offers support to children that experience trauma. Toxic stress and childhood trauma have life long impacts on individuals. When public figures advocate for organizations supporting children they tend to help bring more public awareness. It takes a ton of support to heal child who experienced trauma.
