Children's Rights

As we see in the New Year, it would be well to remember that not all is well in the world especially when it comes to children. All over the world there are refugee children, poor, abandoned children out in the cold, without food or medication, on the run from wars and atrocities of every kind. Their only fault was being born in the wrong place at the wrong time, the wrong ethnicity, or religion in the wrong place. Considering the vast capacities of modern society to provide the necessities of life for all, the current system with its huge inequalities can in no way be justified. There is little any one of us can do to help by ourselves, but collectively, as a society, increasing awareness of these issues, is the only hope of creating a climate where this is no longer acceptable. It should not only make us sad, but angry enough to focus on it, and make others aware as well. Crawling into our cocoon of comfort is not the answer. We are all brothers and sisters.
