Album Notes

"Here I am" is the title of the song that premiered at the 18th General Assembly of SOS-Kinderdorf International in Austria in July 2008. "Here I am" is now traveling over the different continents.

Artists Gail Anderson, Frank Posch, Valentina Dopona and The Downtown Children Choir from Imst/Austria are performing the specially composed child protection song "HERE I AM".

From the beginning, SOS Children’s Villages has been committed to the well-being and safety of children. As an international NGO we are active in many different cultural settings, in many different circumstances. However, the central aim remains the same:
We want each child to grow with love, respect and security. We give children and young people a voice and appreciate their active contribution to the fulfillment of their own rights. They have also contributed to the text of the song “Here I Am” by defining what “child safety” means for them. They sing this song from their perspective.

“Let’s live in peace and dignity (…) Warmth, shelter, love, and care, no one should have to despair.” The attitudes and values of each of us count: Child safety is everybody’s business!
