War Child - and a lack of alliteration (almost) June 9, 2008
Posted by Jen in : War Child, Writing Bits , 29 commentsWar Child is an international charity that works with children affected by war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. They work with former child soldiers, children in prison and children living and working on the streets to give them support, protection and opportunities.
Every minute of every day, three children die as a result of war. That’s quite a lot, even if you can’t do maths. Children, fighting. Dying. Children just like ours.
What can you do? You can help raise the funds they desperately need. You can buy a book, here, where half the cost (or 10 Great British pounds if you buy the download) will go direct to War Child. You’ll be Doing Good and you also get an ace book to read.
You’re Not the Only One is a collection of previously unpublished intimate and personal stories from bloggers all over the world, reflecting the camaraderie of blogging and promoting great writing.
You even get to read a major misery-fest by me. But there are pieces by all sorts of fab and groovy writers so don’t let that put you off. (I’m in a book! I’m in a book! Oh dear, sorry about that.)
Peach has tackled a mountain of a job and produced something warm and worthwhile. Not only that, but it’s boosted my confidence when everything I had was sagging. I’m in a book! Wow! Maybe I really can write.
