Telekom Donation Line for the education of children with multiple, serious disabilities

Budapest, April 29, 2008

In May and June 2008, people calling the Telekom Donation Line by dialing 1788 will support Kerek Világ Jóléti Szolgálat Alapítvány (“Round World Welfare Service Foundation”). The Foundation will use the amounts generated by the calls to provide and roll-out developmental school education for children of statutory school age and having multiple, serious disabilities.

Kerek Világ Jóléti Szolgálat Alapítvány was established in 1990 to facilitate the encounter between society and people living in a disadvantaged situation. In addition to their other integration-promoting activities, they maintain an orthopedagogical training and educational institution at Pécs promoting the skills/ability development, habilitation, rehabilitation, training and education of physically handicapped (but mentally able) children or children living with multiple disabilities and hindered in learning/mental activities.

The Telekom Donation Line (1788) can be accessed from Magyar Telekom’s wireline and mobile network; each call or SMS costs HUF 100. These amounts are free of VAT (except for calls initiated with a Domino subscription). The total amount generated by calls in these two months will be donated to Kerek Világ Jóléti Szolgálat Alapítvány.
