An SOS Children's Village in Dong Hoi, one of six such projects worldwide built with donations received from the highly successful 6 villages for 2006 charity campaign, will be officially inaugurated.
6 villages for 2006, a two-year joint fundraising effort between FIFA and SOS Children's Villages for the 2006 FIFA World CupTM, exceeded all expectations by collecting over USD 21 million in donations to give 800 orphaned and abandoned children a new home in six children's villages - one each in Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa, Ukraine and Vietnam. In addition, a further 5,000 children and 1,000 families will benefit from social services provided at ancillary projects.
