More than half of all refugees in Burundi Many have been separated from their parents and caregivers and have been forced to travel to safety alone. This particular group of children are exposed to significant risks — most markedly, the threat of sexual violence. Approximately 60 per cent of the , internally displaced persons IDPs in Burundi are children. Many are at risk of abuse, neglect and exploitation and are exposed to acute risks including physical injury, economic exploitation and, ultimately, death. War Child has worked in partnership with national NGOs in Burundi since and established its own operations there in We support children who are particularly at risk by strengthening community-based child protection structures. Our work to create safe and supportive environments provides a safe haven where children can process their experiences, rebuild confidence and trust and contribute towards a better future - both for themselves and their communities. Our project in Burundi, conducted in partnership with UNICEF, provides education, child protection and psychosocial support to over 51, people in five areas of Western Burundi. The majority The project focuses on the most vulnerable children — mostly IDPs, returnees, refugees, street children and children who do not have access to education. Many have reported instances of physical and domestic violence, psychological and sexual abuse and exploitation in their communities, both at home and at school. Children who are not in school are often at greatest risk. The projects is designed to reintegrate children into school by working with teaching staff on their professional development and training them in positive discipline. We work to meet the urgent needs of child refugees from neighbouring countries. Jany 9 from Rumonge province is the ninth of 10 children. To address this, we recently suggested to his parents that Jany participate in community activities in one of our Child Friendly Spaces in Rumonge. They agreed. We also visited them on several occasions to give them psychosocial support and to discuss the possibility of integrating Jany into the formal school system. His parents have started to accompany him to the Child Friendly Space where he joins group activities with other children and they take him to church and parties. He is no longer isolated at home and has just enrolled in primary school. His mother also supports the Child Protection Committee by giving advice to other parents who have similar children with disabilities.

Rebuilding social structures to protect children from violence and abuse - and improve their future prospects. Facts and figures Population: We collaborate with organisations across the world to ensure our work has maximum impact - and reaches the children who need it most. Graphic scenes of children brutalised by violence are among the defining images of our time. Yet the nature of armed conflict is becoming increasingly unpredictable. War Child works exclusively to improve the psychosocial wellbeing of children affected by conflict. Our integrated programmes combine psychosocial support, education and child protection for maximum impact. Each and every War Child programme around the world is subject to robust monitoring, evaluation and quality assurance. Fadi 12 was forced to flee the war in Syria when his hometown was bombed by armed forces. He now lives in Lebanon - where thousands of refugee children are denied access to quality education. War Child programmes continue to adhere to our Theory of Change ToC which guides the development and implementation of our Care System inside our countries of operation.

Warchild - Jethro Tull Then again, it seemed that the three words of the first and only review I read of this book said 'disappointing at best'. It involves a plague sweeping Bajor and our hero Doctor Bashir has to Some further musings on Deep Space 9 10 April Well, this seems to be the first DS9 book that does not involve Odo tracking down a murderer that is lose on the station. It involves a plague sweeping Bajor and our hero Doctor Bashir has to go and stop it. Unfortunately, despite being this wonderful doctor wanting to practice frontier medicine, he simply cannot do it without the help of Dax. I am not really sure about these characters in DS9. In a way DS9 is better because we are not seeing the standard goody two shoes Federation starships, but rather a frontier space station which is commanded by some decent people. They do play up the goodness of humanity, and to be honest I must admit that there is a lot of good in humanity which can be explored. However, in some ways they can be too good, almost to the extent of being just plain annoying such as Commander Ryker. DS9 tends to have a lot more intrigue, which is probably why they introduced Quark. It is great how through the use of Quark they have not only created a lot of intrigue, they have also created a character that simply can't be trusted. We also begin to see the rules of acquisition. They form the law of the Ferengi, in a similar way that the Ten Commandments form the legal foundation of Western Society though in many ways they are completely the opposite. One episode I recently watched had a young leader trying to solve a problem that her people were facing, and she meets up with Nog and Jake, and one of the ways they help her is with Nog teaching her about opportunity and the rules of acquisition. It is also sweet to see Jake teaching Nog how to read, which I still believe will really assist Nog in his life as an adult Ferengi. However, there are some disappointing ideas as well. In the same episode, we have a Bajoran village that is threatened by a nasty monster once a year and the only person who can control it is dying. We quickly discover that it is all a trick. Apparently the village was being torn about by factionalism, so the village leaders created this monster to unite the village. Personally, this sounds awfully like thought control to me. While it is a nice idea in principle, it really does seem, and is endorsed by the show, to deceive people into being one in mind to prevent hostility. However, in doing that it destroys our individuality and our personality. In a way, differences of opinion make us what we are, and while conflict can be destructive, in another way it helps us grow as individuals. Sep 01, Daniel rated it really liked it Shelves: science-fiction , star-trek. I had to give this one four stars if only for the fact that I didn't notice the subversion. It took me a hot minute to put the pieces together but it was long before the reveal. This did show more of Bajoran culture but it was sparse, I'm sure I won't be happy unless I read one that is filled with politics and intrigue. This is the first one that wasn't about a murderer on the station and I think that is the reason I liked this one so much. As they say verity is the spice of life. Quotes and comme I had to give this one four stars if only for the fact that I didn't notice the subversion. Quotes and comments: " 'It is sad,' the monk said quietly. The Cardassians' brutal rule was only one burden laid across their shoulders. Then the Bajoran resistance sought to to strike at the Cardassians by destroying their immediate food supplies. They burned crops, destroyed farming implement, and in the end did no great good to the cause. Now this is the kind of guilt that would have made the last book sing. From a friend who's helped you do your job once or twice. And one who now owes you one. As the first officer, it's my duty and in the best interests of the station for me to be aware of Commander Sisko's whereabouts at all times. It's a matter of security. You do understand that? I'm sure Kira and Quark would both take this as an insult. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I really liked the premise of this book, and it had some nice twists and turns. Overall, though, I wasn't too impressed. I was expecting this book to really delve into the emotional and psychological effects of dealing with epidemics and working in a refugee camp, but I thought it fell and little flat. Julian's reaction at first is understandable, but he then goes on to make some very rash choices without a lot of build up. Then, at the end, those issues are never dealt with, instead using a vis I really liked the premise of this book, and it had some nice twists and turns. Then, at the end, those issues are never dealt with, instead using a vision-like epiphany that he can do the most good by staying on DS9.
