ICYMI - During Global Citizen Live (25 September), the LEGO Foundation's CEO Anne-Birgitte Albrectsen announced their $150M USD donation to support children and families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic across the world. VVOB is proud to take another step forward in our partnership with the LEGO Foundation under this grant too, with 3,5M going to BLEND.
