Save The Children : Children

Free the Children started after Craig read a story of one boy that he couldn’t ignore. In the morning, after flipping through pages, he found a story of one boy his age named Iqbal in search of comics. He was born in South Asia and was sold to slavery at the age of four. In his life, he spent six years working in the field of carpet-weaving loom. As a child himself he was shocked to hear this story; so he decided to defend children’s rights. He gathered a small group of his gr. 7 classmates from Thorn hill, Ontario, school and “Free The Children” was born. Today, everyday free the children grows and every child receive its full potential. There are 2.3 million youths are involved in this organization and it had work in 45 countries since it started. Today,

Physical abuse is when a child is physically hurt . Hitting, beating, throwing, shaking are all physical abuse.

Working with agencies is extremely effective in improving outcomes for children, by coming together to share information and concerns a complete picture of the child/ren is formed. Working together to Safeguard Children states we all share responsibility for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, this is done effectively through multi agency, team around the child and EHAF meetings, conferences and core groups. When a referral is made to social care, they investigate, gaining information from all involved parties, parents/carers, family. School provides information on attainment, attendance and any concerns, health provides information on immunisations, medical appointments and general health of the child, they also sometimes

In “The Singer Solution to World Poverty,” Peter Singer urges all Americans to donate any money not being used for sustenance to help children overseas. When I read this article in my AP Language and Composition class last year, I realized the duty I had as a privileged individual, to help these underserved communities. However, this was not something my friends and I could engage in-- we were all broke and didn’t even have jobs, not to mention the harrowing expense of future college tuitions haunting our dreams. But this didn’t mean we couldn’t help save children’s lives. I found three other colleagues who shared my goal of helping kids globally and we collaborated to co-found our high school’s own UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) club.

Back in the 1800 many children were poor and homeless and begging for food. Now that we have realized that this is happening to children there are charities who feed the homeless and have foster homes. Usually in major cities there are more homeless children and people that need help. Charles Loring Brace founded a charity in New York, to help poor children that are in the city for example. Charles found caring homes to teach the child good manners and not for labor. There are many organizations like the Charles Loring Brace charity that help out children in need. Back in the 1800’s there were no charity’s to give out food and water and supplies for the children but now that we have grown to be a better society there are more and more people

When watching the Frontline special on poor children in America I was shocked, outraged, and saddened. I kept thinking why? Why are these children living in poverty? Why can their parents just get jobs? And why is it so hard to live in a society like ours? The three children that were followed or the three months while making this documentary were all so grown and mature at an age that children usually think about toys, friends, and having fun. The children portrayed in the documentary were thinking about bills, food, and shelter. At such a young age, I wasn’t sure

Historically, children were viewed very differently than they are today. Adults thought of children as being seen and not heard. Children were expected to work in textile factories or as chimney sweeps in order to provide for their families. They did not have rights and in the family, children followed the rule “do as you’re told” so they would survive. It was not until 1875 when the thought of the rights of children came about. Rights of children “stemmed from their status – dependent, immature individuals who require care, protection, and guidance to survive and flourish,” (Downs, Moore & McFadden, 2009, p. 7). Politicians thought children deserved an education and protection, so they introduced “child saving” activities that advocated for the improving the lives of and conditions for children. Since this was enacted orphanages were developed for communities that experienced disasters and orphan trains helped in resettling over 100,000 children. In 1924 the League of Nations approved the Geneva Declaration of of the Rights of a Child which gave children rights such as receiving food, healthcare, protection, and shelter (Strohm, Powerpoint, September 3).

“I can honestly say that if it weren’t for StandUp For Kids, I’d have probably died a junkie on the streets”. (Brian, StandUp For Kids) StandUp For Kids has been helping children and young adult by giving sessions of counseling’s, providing meals, building relationships and leading them to a better future. 39% of the homeless population is young people under the age of 18. (About StandUp For Kids) Imagine how high the population would be if it wasn’t for this program. You’re giving these children a second chance in life, letting them know someone does care. Also think about the future doctors, lawyers, scientists and engineers that you can

Nelson Mandela once said, "Children are our greatest treasure. They are our future." (Nepaul). Yet, in 2014, 31.4 million American children lived in low-income households and 15.4 million lived in poor families (phys.org). By 2016, the number of children living in poverty still stay the same. In fact, it even shows sign of increasing when nearly half of children in America are living dangerously close to the poverty line, where their families barely make enough to afford the most basic needs (phys.org). Looking at these statistics, it is clear that we need to these children and their families. And in order to do so, we first need to change our attitudes towards the poor and create more effective plans, such as...

Mercy Among the Children by David Adams Richard and the movie Changing Lanes both share the common theme of lost time, and the inability to regain that time. When Doyle Gibson and Gavin Banek get into a car accident on the FDR and Gavin refuses to give Doyle a ride, the two continue to cross paths all day. Doyle then misses his court hearing and loses custody of his children and Gavin loses the power of appointment, a crucial document to his case. Gavin then seeks out Doyle to retrieve this document, and Doyle tells Gavin the damage his self-absorption caused him. When Gavin apologizes, Doyle then asks if he could give back his time: “[w]hat I want is my morning.

There are many different charities that provide help, support and care for children. These charities provide support and care to children who are less fortunate and that are in need. One charity that helps children in wales is Barnardo’s Cymru. The charity aims to provide care and support to the most disadvantaged children/young families and communities in Wales. The charities aim to help children reach their full potential in life no matter what the circumstances in which they live in. The charity helps children and young people who live in bad circumstances e.g. people who are struggling abuse, discrimination or

Miss Jebb as they called her was one of the main movers of the Save the Children Fund after world war one. She helped because she saw what everyone else was seeing ,but not paying attention to. Handing out leaflets with pictures of starved kids was one of the first things to get people’s attention. People started to help protest and see what was actually happening to the kids and wanted to help. After time passed by the laws were in the process of being thought about which was a good thing. The reason why it was important for the government and the states to accept that children need protection is because those kids were only 10, 11, 12 years old and weren't even able to read but were allowed to process machines. Soon after the government started to ease up on the law and took in Mrs Jebbs grants and wishes of freeing the

Most of these children were born into poverty but Bill Gates the co-founder of Microsoft said that “If you are born poor its not your fault, but if you die poor it is” The meaning of this quote is that being born poor wasn’t your fault, but if you die poor that means that you didn't try your hardest to not be poor. It is hard, but if we help out we can help the millions of people start a better life with their family. Something that you could do is ask your parents to find jobs for those in need so that instead of asking for money they can live off their own work and feel proud of what they earned. Or a very easy thing that you could do would be to donate as much as you can to help out the poor. The reason for this is, parents cannot afford to buy their family nice clothes like we can and because of that they have shirts that are either passed down or from years ago. So, if you donate as many things as you can like clothes that are too small, or a present from someone that you never used. That would be very useful to them so that they have a nice life like you and I do. You might think that this is nonsense and that donating wouldn't do anything but imagine if this was you, living below the poverty line. Not able to get the awesome new Nike’s that came out. Would you want others to just shrug their shoulders and say that they don’t need to donate or would you want them to donate so that you and your family can live a better

In 1932 after being inspired by Jebb’s vision, a group of Americans established Save the Children in the United States. After seeing the good intentions of the organization, sponsorships and individuals started to donate money to the organization. An individual child sponsorship began-for $30 a year, with that money people were able to help support the British war orphans. Over the years, The Save the Children Organization started to expand around the world, to places like Vietnam, Colombia, and Korea. Hundreds of foundations are now partner with this organization to help them fulfill their missions and achieve positive outcomes for children.
