Get angry get involved! Find anyway to raise awareness for War Child.

Hi Everyone

Hi this is 10BK from Kingsbury High School. This our blog page for the charity War Child. We are trying to help raise awareness for War Child by first saying what War Child is, What problems they have seen and how we and you can help.

It all started when we were learning about the rights all children have.
To us it seemed right for us to all have education, a place to live and food and water to eat and drink.
That's just normal.
But when we saw some pictures of kids from Iraq playing on a tank, we thought it was sad, but we didn't understand why they were smiling.
We came to realise they didn't know any better; for them, this was normal life.
Is this fair? Is this right?

Information On War Child

As you read this, over 30 wars and conflicts rage around the world. Some fill our TV screens with appalling images of distress, emphasising war’s brutalising effect on man.

Many of these wars go unreported, often due to political expediency or lack of interest. They reveal a shaming pattern: Sixty million people have been killed in wars during the 20th Century. Over 80% of war casualties are now civilians - mainly women and children.

Children are amongst the first casualties of any armed conflict, always the most vulnerable and innocent of victims. In the last decade alone 1.5 million children have died in wars. Four million have been disabled and a further 10 million traumatised.

The severe psychological wounds that war inflicts on children can scar them for life, crippling the very generations that must one day rebuild their devastated countries. For the future peace of the world we must do everything in our power to help these war children.
