Anna volunteered for six months from Germany, and after her return she joined our Children’s Rights Centre and the Children’s Participation Programme as a coordinator. She has a degree in International Studies and is currently studying to become a lawyer, so without her knowledge and experience our team would not be the same.

Bari is a colleague of ours who in the past would surely have been called a polyhistor. He is the one who is “involved” in almost every campaign and ongoing case. He solves everything, manages everything and figures it all out. He manages projects, forges communication plans, brainstorms, designs, organises, posts, writes press releases, takes photos and tries to smile as much as possible.

Dóri joined us as a volunteer in November 2022. She is now a core member of our team as a Children’s Rights Worker. She is in charge of the Foundation’s education programme, where she not only organises online and in-person trainings, but is also a presenter. She is the implementer of the Hintalovon Academy and helps out wherever she can. Her aim is to ensure that as many professionals as possible are aware of children’s rights and can put them into practice. Her diplomatic degree and her human rights training, which she studied in the Netherlands, enable her to join international cooperation projects in addition to the academy.

Midi works as a children’s rights advisor and helps with the legal tasks related to specific programmes. Like the others, she strongly believes that if more people listen to children in the way they need, they can become happier children and then balanced adults. As well as being a lawyer, she is also a talented photographer and is always happy to take and send us pictures to use on social media or our website.

Era is a bit like the Foundation’s mum – quietly, quickly, efficiently and with a smile, she gets a lot done, making everyone’s job a lot easier. She manages invoices and contracts, collates and mails donation shop orders, prepares financial statements, liaises with accountants, pro bono offices, donors and trustees, runs our central email address, keeps the office neat and tidy and bakes the most delicious poppy seed cookies.

As one of the leaders of our NEMECSEK Programme, Kata works every day to make children and their communities feel safe. Of course, Kata is not only involved with NEMECSEK, her expertise, observations and ideas permeate the entire operation of the foundation. She joined the Foundation five years ago, mainly giving lectures, training courses, writing articles and posts, and working as a psychologist on child protection issues.

Kinga holds an essential position in the Foundation: she is our Executive Director. Since joining the team, she has been unstoppable; she is constantly planning, brainstorming, optimising, strategising and implementing for the well-being and success of the Foundation, as well as doing her bit in fundraising.

Lilla is a pillar of the Foundation, together with Anna, Sofie, Viki (and of course the Minor Colleagues and their volunteers) they make up the super team of the Children’s Participation Programme. She believes 1000% in involving children in decisions about them and works towards this goal with great creativity and dedication every day. Her name is often mentioned in articles on our English website, but she is also responsible for a lot of material in Hungarian.

Although Zsófi is officially a fundraiser, the communications team would simply be unthinkable without her. There’s almost nothing she can’t do: writing newsletters, making videos, managing a website, but mostly she thinks and works on how to get more supporters to the Foundation.
