The association of Save a Child’s Heart (SACH) Switzerland was officially formed in Geneva on April 21, 2009.
SACH representatives Dr. Sion Houri and Barbara Mangold attended the formal establishment of the association and the adoption of the statutes together with the founding members of SACH Switzerland.
During their stay in Geneva, Dr. Houri and Barbara also attended a UN-Watch conference focusing on Israel’s humanitarian strength. The goal of SACH Switzerland is to create awareness for SACH’s work throughout Switzerland by holding a series of events in different cities all over the country in the coming year.
The Swiss board members of SACH Switzerland will try to spread the word about the project and
win the support of Swiss citizens.
The new association will soon enable Swiss donors to receive tax exemption on donations made to SACH.
The association is being chaired by Prof. Alfred Donath, former president of the Swiss Federation of Jewish communities. Prof Donath lives in Geneva. Further founding members of SACH Switzerland are Dr. Phil Taussky, who serves as a vice-president and lives and works as a neurosurgeon in Berne, Prof. Krassen Nedeltchev, head of the division of neurology at the Triemli hospital in Zurich and Lukas Von Känel, who serves as a secretary and lives in Basle. Sidney Weill, founder and CEO of the event agency Open Hearts in Baden is part of the expanded board of SACH Switzerland.
