Bobcat Europe has announced a new partnership with the Belgian Committee of Unicef, the United Nations Children's Fund. Both will work together over the next three years in different projects aimed at raising funds to finance the work of the Organization carried out in Africa. Scott Nelson, President of Bobcat Europe, says: "our new partnership with the Belgian Unicef Committee reflects the commitment made by Bobcat, a world leader in the manufacture of compact equipment, to support the development of the communities around the world and"", in particular, that of the most important individuals in these communities: children".
The first initiative to raise funds was one of the events on the occasion of the opening of the new plant for the manufacture of Bobcat in Dobris, South of Prague (Czech Republic). At a gala dinner offered to Bobcat dealers who attended the opening of the plant, was auctioned, of 55,000 euros, a Bobcat S100 compact loader, painted in a special way by Théo Sisti, the son of 5 years of a dealer of Bobcat Francethat he attended with their parents dinner gala held in Prague. The drawing of Théo was the winner of a contest of drawing for children organized by Bobcat. He was one of more than 400 children from all over Europe, including some nurseries and local schools in Dobris, who called the idea that they had the aspect which would have a Bobcat machine that they shape in a drawing.

All proceeds from the sale of the auction will go to the major campaign of Unicef "Schools for Africa". According to Yves Willemot, Director of the Belgian Committee of Unicef, which was present in the auction, the generosity of the winning bid will provide 3,000 children of Mozambique the opportunity to attend school.
"Schools for Africa" promotes the right of all African children to education and aims to provide access to a quality basic education to children, especially girls, orphans and vulnerable children. You can not underestimate the importance of the campaign for Africa: only in sub-Saharan Africa about 45 million children not attending school.
