KIDS FORUM
This forum is reserved for children sponsored by FFC and for other children interested in orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) in general and those sponsored by FFC in particular. Children can use the forum to
• exchange ideas
• communicate personal experiences
• post messages and creative works (such as drawings, stories and folk-tales)
The forum can help to raise awareness of
• the terrible conditions of millions of Ethiopian children who live in abject poverty
• the suffering of many of these children from illness (related to malaria, TB, HIV/AIDS, malnutrition) and discrimination; but also
• the talent and intelligence which exist among these kids in spite of their bleak living conditions
Read the poems, essays, messages and drawings on pages of this forum and judge for yourself.
To post messages, other written materials or drawings please contact the moderator by sending email to: contact@friendsforchildren.org.uk
