War Child Charity Presentation

Yesterday we had a speaker from the charity War Child visit to give a presentation on the charity's invaluable work.. She explained which countries are involved; how war child helps; what's happening to families and children. Telling us touching, true, heart wrenching stories.

She has dealt with a lot of children who have seen some scary, traumatising events in their lives. War Child helps children get into education, gives them hope, tries to re-home the child, helps them become someone they have wanted to be but never been able to due to circumstances beyond their control.
