Over half of all the refugees in the world are children, and two thirds of those children are now orphans.

These are the distraught faces of innocent children who have escaped from death in a war-torn country, they have survived crossing the dangerous sea to arrive in a strange land, and now they are at the mercy of unwelcoming strangers.

Please join the 'Colour of War Campaign' and Help Give Comfort to the Children of War.

This petition will be completed on September 5, 2015.
