August saw the launch of a new foundation supporting child survivors of war and terrorism.
Renew the Sprit Foundation helps to heal the trauma of child survivors of war and terrorism and was launched at Hunter House.
Each year over one million children are victims of war. Thousands are killed. In the last few years in Africa alone, over 100 000 children have been used as soldiers. Those who survive violent conflict and acts of terror can be physically maimed for life but also emotionally and psychologically damaged. Renew the Spirit Foundation supports healing programs through play and creative-arts therapies in Cambodia and in Karen refugee camp on the Thai-Burmese border.
