New goodwill ambassador of “Terre des hommes” aims to promote children’s welfare

The new Goodwill Ambassador of the Foundation “Terre des hommes” Serghei Chirilov intends to get actively involved in the activities of the MOVE Project so as to promote the observance of children’s rights and improvement of children’s welfare by introducing Motion, Games and Sport in the school curriculum, Info-Prim Neo reports. In an interview for “Terre des hommes”, Serghei Chirilov said he agreed to become the Foundation’s Goodwill Ambassador because he wants to help make the children happier. “The birth of my daughter is the most important and nice thing in my life. There is no other greater satisfaction than seeing your child smiling and being happy. That’s why the though that I can help the children live in a better world by being a Goodwill Ambassador makes me feel accomplished,” said Serghei Chirilov. Serghei Chirilov is the senior coach of Moldova’s youth football team. He said football offered him many special moments in life. Through football he learned new things and saw many wonderful places. “I consider myself lucky as I was given the chance to play football professionally. I think that this experience that I will share with the children will be an example and a model for them to grow up courageous, wise, confident and open. Thus, the experience of ex-footballer and coach is very useful,” he stated. He also said that the MGS activities help the children to develop harmoniously, while the attention devoted to them makes them feel protected and loved. Serghei Chirilov stressed that a successful ambassador of the MOVE Project should carry out activities aimed at promoting love, support and solidarity. “Any active participation in Fair Play events, the support for organizing more activities within the MOVE Project, the dissemination of the values of “Terre des hommes” in the area of child protection, the involvement of more persons in making the deprived children feel happy are important steps towards success,” he said. In his new position, the Goodwill Ambassador will be responsible for Fair Play events in Ungheni, Soroca and Chisinau. The Representative Office of the Foundation “Terre des hommes” Lausanne –Switzerland started work in Moldova in 2004. Since 2008, alongside the delegations of “Terre des hommes” in Romania and Albania and with financial support from the UEFA, “Terre des hommes” Moldova has implemented the MOVE Project that aims to improve the quality of psychosocial interventions by training persons responsible for children locally.
