In Europe many people died during the Second World War.As a result,at the end of the war there were many orphans there.A man called Hermann Gmeiner wanted to help these children.His idea was simple.He wanted orphans to have a home.And he wanted them to have the care and kindness of parents.Gmeiner asked people to give him some money.With this money he built the first SOS Children's Village at Imst,in Austria.It opened in 1949,This is how the SOS Children's Villages started.The letters SOS stand for ″Save Our Souls″.This means ″Please help us!″ An SOS Children's Village gives help to orphans.
Hermann Gmeiner's idea for helping orphans soon spread all over the world.By 1983 there were 170 SOS Children's Villages in the world.People in many countries give money to help the villages.Today the children from the first villages are grown up.Now some of them work in other SOS Children's Villages.
他在什么时候建立的的SOS,是在二战结束后,还是二战结束后过了几年?
