Comfort for Kids

This is only a very short piece, and I hope to be able to add more images very soon. Today I watched a clip from one of Mercy Corps "Comfort for Kids" programmes, which has now been uploaded onto youtube. In many ways it's a very normal clip - just a group of happy, seemingly carefree children, enjoying an experience together and clearly having a great time. For me the wonderful thing is that these kids have all gone through dreadful experiences, seeing their whole world turned upside down, losing family, friends and homes, and all of this just a few short weeks ago. It's a great testament to the human spirit that these kids are bouncing back, and Comfort for Kids is a wonderful programme that helps the healing process.
