Last week we listened to Keiko Tamura, who works for Save the children.
There were many things I didn't know, but especially 2 things (information) of them really sticks to me.
First of all, A woman was arrested by helping children in 1919.
Her name is Eglantyne Jebb. She wanted to help German children who were suffered from WWⅠ, so gathered money and sent it to German(enemy's country). Her claim was that " It is the adults who started the war. We should help children because they have nothing to do with it." I didn't know that there was such person who think in a modern way in those days. And also, there was people who dominated money to them! It is such a heart-warming thing, I think.
Secondly, pictures children wrote were full of sadness in contrast to which written by children in other countries.
All of them concerned to the war. Pictures with dead person, and about having birthday party but someone is missing. I realized that they really need not only health care but also mental care.
Now I understand why Save the children insist on doing mental care of children.
