basic site information

The theme, doesn't support the basic site information (mission). I changed the code in the page.tpl.php so i have it (i added the last line):

          <?php if (!empty($breadcrumb)): ?><div id="breadcrumb"><?php print $breadcrumb; ?></div><?php endif; ?>
          <?php if (!empty($messages)): print $messages; endif; ?>
          <?php if (!empty($tabs)): ?><div class="tabs"><?php print $tabs; ?></div><?php endif; ?>
          <?php if (!empty($mission)): ?><div id="mission"><?php print $mission; ?></div><?php endif; ?>
