Innovative projects to help children in troubleAt this beginning of the new century, hundreds of millions of children and adolescents are in trouble in the world. War, natural disasters, abuse, sickness, grief, violence or extreme poverty... the causes are manifold. Can we leave all these young people by the wayside? In Canada, Mary Gordon stifles violence and encourages empathy by bringing babies into schools. In Sierra Leone, young ex-soldiers dance with David Allan Harris and relearn how to live. In the favelas of Cali in Columbia, Felicity Simpson makes children's eyes sparkle by teaching them circus arts and encouraging them to make it their job...This vibrant, optimistic book, supported by refined analysis, sheds a new light on a very serious problem and offers solutions and the motivation to act.
