Obituary

Professor Otto Wolff - sadly we mourn the death, aged 90, of Otto Wolf, our chairman from 1989 to 1992 after which he continued as a trustee for a further five years. As Dean of the London University Institute of Child Health, he was greatly influential in the launching and growth of the movement, and he has remained with us as a friend, resource and mentor ever since.

Otto combined an unswerving commitment to social justice, a love and respect for the world’s children and a deep commitment to their wellbeing together with a total aversion of prejudice in any form. All those of us who worked with him at Child to Child loved him and drew inspiration from him. He was supremely approachable, listened to everybody and was always available to offer us wise and gentle advice deriving not only from unrivalled experience but also from the values held by a truly great and good man.

Opportunity to join the Board of Trustees at Child-to-Child

Child-to-Child has been a pioneer of the children’s participation movement providing tools, educational approaches and materials on how to engage and involve children in the health and development of themselves as well as their families and communities.

The Trustees are responsible for setting Child-To-Child Trust’s strategy, and to guide and support the Director and the small team in the work of the Trust. We are looking specifically to broaden the range of skills of existing Trustees through recruiting members who have strong Child related programme experience, and fundraising experience, particularly in an International Development (or ECD) context and from Trusts and Foundations.
