Eglantyne’s family, and representatives of Save the Children, the UN, & the university and City of Geneva attended, all working in different ways to help promote Eglantyne’s vision of a caring & just world for children. As we all know, there is, still, much to do…

Proud to join a celebration of the life and work of Eglantyne Jebb, founder of Save the Children International, here in Geneva. A true radical, she was arrested and harassed for saying children shouldn’t be attacked or starved. A message that today is still (apparently) provocative.
