Thomas and UNICEF

Concern for children, their rights, wishes and views are especially close to his heart. Thomas has been Austria’s UNICEF Ambassador for Children since 1996 (UNICEF is an international association that brings attention to the many injustices suffered by children throughout the world.)

“To really care for children means to love them but, above all, to value and respect them. They are not little creatures to be trained and reared. They are small human beings, with wishes, views, dreams and ideas that must be taken seriously.” (Excerpt from his inaugural speech as Austrian UNICEF Ambassador.)
