SRF: Two new faces in the glass box
The team hosting this year's «Every Rappen Counts» fundraising campaign consists of Nik Hartmann, Tina Nägeli, and Philippe Gerber. They will be broadcasting from the glass booth in Lucerne for a week.
This year, the glass box will be inhabited by SRF 3 presenters Nik Hartmann, Tina Nägeli and Philippe Gerber. Tina Nägeli has been deputizing for hit parade presenter Michel Birri for a year now and has recently started appearing on the daily program and in the music specials. There she lives out her love and expertise for music. Philippe Gerber has been a presenter on Radio SRF 3 for six years, hosting the morning shows, cooking once a week with Jann Hofmann and regularly presenting the "Best Talents" in "CH-Special". Tina Nägeli and Philippe Gerber are taking part for the first time. Nik Hartmann, the guarantor of unforgettable JRZ moments, has been with us since the first minute of JRZ and is back in the glass box for the fifth time. From Wednesday to Tuesday, December 17 to 23, 2014, the three presenters will be welcoming guests from the worlds of music, sport, politics, business and society, as well as thousands of donors big and small from all over Switzerland.
Families on the run
This year, "JRZ" is collecting money for families who have had to leave their homes due to armed conflicts or violence and are on the run. In 2013, more than 50 million people worldwide were forced to flee their homes for fear of their lives and those of their loved ones. Of these, 33 million were so-called internally displaced persons, meaning that they left their place of residence and fled to another region of their country. Over eleven million fled across national borders and are therefore referred to as refugees.
People who leave everything behind from one moment to the next in order to protect their lives and those of their families are in great need and require protection and survival aid. Swiss Solidarity will use the money raised to finance aid projects run by its partner relief organizations, which will primarily provide these families with support in the form of food, water, shelter, medical and psychological help, as well as improving living conditions in the refugee camps and host communities.
