30 January, 2002A VW campaign collecting coins of former currencies of the European Monetary Union can help build a future for children.
EUROPE: A campaign called "Small Change for Little People" is giving an added boost to the Volkswagen Group Works Council's hugely successful project in aid of street children called "An Hour for the Future."
With the introduction in January 2002 of the euro in the 12 member countries of the European Monetary Union (EMU), an option about what to do with coins of the former currencies was suggested by the Volkswagen Euro Team: collect the money via their initiative "Small Change for Little People" and then donate this to "An Hour for the Future".
The VW Group, which has approximately 200,000 employees in the EMU alone, has set up collection boxes at 22 production sites in all EMU member countries. The collection initiative also extends to company dealerships for the Audi, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen brands, as well as to Volkswagen subsidiaries and partner companies.
