And he wanted them to have the care and kindness of parents. Gmeiner asked people to give him some money. With this money he built the first SOS Childre

27、n's Village at Imst, in Austria. It opened in 1949, This is how the SOS Children's Villages started. The letters SOS stand for Save Our Souls. This means Please help us! An SOS Children's Village gives help to orphans. Hermann Gmeiner's idea for helping orphans soon spread all over t

28、he world. By 1983 there were 170 SOS Children's Villages in the world. People in many countries give money to help the villages. Today the children from the first villages are grown up. Now some of them work in other SOS Children's Villages. In SOS villages orphans live in family groups. The

29、re are several houses in each village. The biggest villages have 40 or 50 houses! Between seven and ten children live in a house. A woman lives with each group of children and looks after them. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness. She cooks for them and makes a comfortable, happy home

The house-owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the shipowner knows that his vesse

35、l may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire, not every vessel lost at sea.
