May 23rd 2017

It was with deep sadness we announce our dear friend and CEO of Cradle, Svenn Braamark, passed away in Sweden on the morning of May 22nd, 2017.

He died as he lived, helping people. A brave and courageous soul, he devoted his entire life to others. From war-torn Bosnia, through the Albanian Civil War and Tsunami ravaged Thailand, to todays refugee crisis, the suffering of others was always his focus. And how best he could alleviate that suffering, especially the suffering of children.

So many owe their lives to his efforts. He will be sorely missed by Tajma, his devoted family and legions of friends throughout the world, most especially in his beloved Bosnia Herzegovina. When told of the news of his passing their response was, “The Boss is gone”.

To honour Svenn’s memory, please feel free to donate in his name to Cradle’s cause.
