Save the Children Australia
This video speaks about how Save the Children focuses on being active and being part of what is important. Rather than just donating money to charity, they become involved and they do what they can to help. This video mainly focuses on Indigenous children and other Australians, however there are many Save the Children organisations set in different countries like the USA and the UK.
Abuse and Recruitment is Central African Republic
This article is raising awareness against the attacks in Central South Africa. It talks about how young boys are being forced into armed groups and children are being sexually abused. Also, there have been robberies all over the area, even mattresses from hospital beds have been stolen as well as frequent riots and serious break ins.
