  The anniversary of the setting up of the Terre des hommes movement is July 22nd. The City of Lausanne is the main sponsor of this celebration in 2010: firstly by donating a monument commemorating 50 years of the movement, which has been unveiled in the “Vallée de la Jeunesse” on that special day; and secondly, their services offer logistic and financial support for the organisation of this event.
