HOW

Look at the video on the right handside just to see how bad things are for these children.

So I have told you all about work on Saturday night, the fund raiser for orphans in the Philippines, i checked out their website today because the talk they gave was really good and i wanted to find out more about what they do. The organisation is called HOW (Helping Orphans Worldwide). Some of the stories they told on Saturday night were very sad. The picture above is of two children, aged 9 & 10, in an overcrowded prison. The organisation managed to get them out of the prison and reunited them with their families. But there are many young imprisoned children that the organisation can't help. On Saturday they told us that the prisons are so overcrowded that the children are being made share beds, some of the children have to share beds with renowned paedophiles and everything, its very sad because a lot of the children are innocent or guilty of very petty crime. Some are just put into prisons because they have been abandoned.
