What’s going on out there in the world? You need to know, you need to get plugged in and challenge the notion that ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is just ignorance. In order to participate more effectively in the world, you need to understand some key global issues so that you begin to make a difference.
The issues that are important to us at War Child Canada are obviously related to conflict and its impact on children. There are many issues that need to be addressed and understood – the issue pages to the left will give you a good overview of some key topics that relate to our work in conflict areas.
