Our
friends at IKEA Atlanta are hosting a toy/donation drive for CHOSEN
ABILITIES in the month of December in their exit/lobby area.
This local organization is a 501c3 that provides educational
and training services to individuals residing in low-income
communities!
Toys collected will be used to provide
a new unwrapped toy at their annual Christmas program.
The
Soft Toys for Education campaign aims to provide quality education to
vulnerable children living in poverty in developing countries. Since
the campaign started, donations from the annual IKEA Soft Toy
Campaign have totaled $ 90.4 million** (€67 million), helping more
than 11 million children in 46 countries enjoy their right to a
quality education. The donations help UNICEF and Save the Children
train teachers in childfriendly teaching methods, improve child
protection systems, supply education materials, and increase school
attendance rates.
New
soft toys join the team
Every
year for the campaign, IKEA creates a children’s book based on IKEA
soft toy characters. In this year’s book, The Frog Prince, young
readers visit the fairy-tale forest and learn about the special bonds
of friendship. The book is written by award-winning Swedish author
Ulf Stark and illustrated by Silke Leffler.
This
year’s new soft toy friends from The Frog Prince fairy-tale world
are:
- TOSIG: the silly frog
- LILLGAMMAL: the red-hooded rebel
- PIPHARE: the wise hare
- KATTUGGLA: the sweet owl
“Investing
in children’s education is the most powerful way to help them
escape poverty. Through IKEA’s Soft Toys for Education campaign, we
have been able to improve the education of more than 11 million
children through our partnership with Save the Children and UNICEF.
Access to a quality education is key to help them create a better
future for themselves and their families,” commented Per Heggenes,
CEO IKEA Foundation”.
