Every 2.2 seconds a child loses a parent. Take part in Bowler Hat Day on Thursday 11 February, during World Orphan Week, and help children who have been left orphaned by the earthquake in Haiti.
Show the city's heart on Bowler Hat Dat by wearing a Bowler Hat or lapel pin and join us at the Bowler Hatters' Party in Leadenhall market for live entertainment.
World Orphan Week is an incredibly important campaign and I would urge everyone to get involved and help SOS Children achieve their goal of finding families for 1000 orphaned and abandoned children'.
Boris Johnson, The Mayor of London.
