On October 26th, 2019 we celebrated our annual fundraising Gala at the Quellenhof Resort in Bad Ragaz. In attendance was family, students, partners, educators, donors, friends, and human rights leaders from around the globe. The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Foundation Switzerland could not reach as many students as we do if it weren’t for those who showed up to support our mission. But beyond the fundraising, it was a great evening and a great opportunity to show our gratitude to all those who have made lasting impacts on the lives of youth.
