As quickly and effectively as Save the Children responds to tsunamis and civil conflict, it words to resolve the ongoing struggles children face everyday- poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease- and replaces them with hope for the future.

The issue that really caught my eye was that because of the Syrian way thousands of children have fled the boarder and are in need of urgent relief. All of these children and their families are leaving because of the war. There were too many explosions that were threatening to their lives so they had to flee. These poor children had to sit in 1 room of their home while their home was destroyed around them. They then watched their father be killed outside their home. The children and their mother now live in a small tent right outside the boarder struggling and depending on others for their basic needs. Save the children is bringing these families warm coats, blankets, clean drinking water. They are also trying to help these children find proper education.
It is heart breaking to me that families have to experience this, let alone the children.It makes me thankful for what I have and that I can provide for my son an myself. After reading this article I am thankful for organizations such as Save the Children.
