120 children from the Stagecoach schools in Witney and Bourton on the Water surprised the crowds at Legoland Windsor last week, when they performed an impromptu flash mob performance to help promote the World Vision UK Child Health Now campaign. The children, aged between 4 and 18 years old, performed ‘It’s a Hard Knock Life’ and ‘Tomorrow’ in the middle of Legoland to the unsuspecting public, and you can see their amazing performance on the video below.
World Vision UK’s Head of Engagement, Martin Thomas said:
The event was an amazing experience; something that will linger in [the young people’s] memories for a long time to come. It was thrilling to see the culmination of more than seven months of planning and creative engagement with young people, their families, Stagecoach and Legoland. Our hope is that the flash mob video and campaign call will become something that makes ripples throughout the UK and across the world; inspiring people to take action for the world’s most vulnerable children.
The campaign is to help draw attention to the 8.8 million children under five who die each year from preventable diseases. With simple vaccinations, these deaths can but stopped. Diarrhoea, pneumonia and malaria should not be fatal disease. The children that took part will be promoting the Child Health Now campaign in assemblies and classroom talks to help raise awareness on this vital subject.
