    May all the children of the world run with joy and  never from fear… He followed our unicef SUV for more than 15 minutes in Goma’s streets giggling joyfully  and I got to capture his beautiful smile 🙂

    I like to think that there are special angels assigned for each child that is born to this planet, to guide them, watch over them and shower them with buckets full of joy when life get rough… Glowing smiles, shiny eyes, boundless energy, these things are not what I expected to see in the children…

    Coming from Lebanon, I get asked a lot about the civil war that ravaged my country for so many years and with that question there is always a request to clarity what the war is all about there. On many occasions I find myself likening the war to a board game. The board being the…

    It is difficult to imagine in our day of gadgets and the time of i-this and i-that available to everyone in the west even small children, that in some places like Congo, this is not the case at all. And because of that, the children I met often asked me to take a message back…

    If I were to put one common word when describing children from any country, I would say ‘resilience’… Children are developing beings, changing at a rapid speed, growing, absorbing, evolving and filled with energy that drives them through their process of becoming young adults. What I saw in a lot of the children in Congo…

    For ‘les enfants de la rue’, the children of the street in Kinshasa, a bit of ground in an enclosed secure place can make a world of difference where their safety is concerned. These children roam the streets by night in search of food, opportunity and means and ways. During the day, a center like…

    One of the most precious gifts we humans receive upon our birth is the gift of choice and free will… We have the faculties that allow us to think, evaluate, compare, investigate, evaluate and then based upon our findings make an informed decision.

    A small boy, on the run from Rwanda, pausing in a medical center in Goma, hiding behind the folds of a UNICEF tent, his life will never be the same again… While days before he was just a little boy, living in a village, part of a family, living a somewhat normal life, today he…

    Being born into conflict, struggling to survive, finding themselves short of even the most basic of life’s necessities; what kind of future are these children looking forward to having? If children are the hope for our future, if they will be the beacon for much needed change to come, then don’t they deserve much more…

    They say that only when you come so close to losing something do you value it the most… That is definitely something I have witnessed in Congo and growing up in a Lebanon during the civil war. War can make you more sensitized to the value of life, so when you cry, you cry more…
