Children of Palastine

Ibrahiem is three years old, he has no parents and he's feeling cold. Miriam can't go to school. Her parent are to poor, theirs nothing they can do. Aisha has no legs. A bomb fell on her house, while she was sleeping. Latifa can't read or write. A simple operation could put things right. Akeem is so hungry he cries in pain. He hasn't eaten for five days. Imran can't sleep, it's to cold and damp. No blanket to keep him warm from dusk until dawn. ''The worlds forgotten us'' the children of Palastine cry. I send all I can, I want to do more. I wish I could invite them to my door. Theses children are destitute, hungry and poor. The world watches on, we have to do more.
