This benefit anthology seeks to raise awareness and funds for children with basic survival needs, for programs that protect and educate children, and foster child advocacy. This book will highlight children caught in the crossfire of war and political strife, gun violence, child abuse and exploitation. It will also address the transformative power of love and care. As current custodians of this world we need to protect the our children. Only if we work together can we harness the strength to speak up for those not allowed a voice; turning away is not an option.
