With the upcoming release of Heroes benefit CD, War Child is looking for Twitter Heroes to help spread the word about children in war-affected countries. An estimated 300,000 children globally have been forced or drafted into armed groups. (Heroes is available Mar 3rd in Canada and Feb 24th for US audiences)
What Does War Child Do?
War Child aims at raising awareness, understanding and concern for the plight of children forced to endure unimaginable acts of violence and torture. In regions where child soldiers are often placed on the front lines of combat, being used as human shields, messengers and spies, War Child provides programming aimed at preventing children from being recruited in the first place, and assistance in the difficult process of reintegration once they leave the armed groups.
