There are some books that you don’t just read, they graft onto you. That’s what happens with Ishmael Beah’s personal story, “A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier.” Childhood is supposed to have many chapters to it. But some children, including Ishmael, have pages torn from their childhood and rewritten into unimaginable circumstances.
UNICEF is the world’s farthest-reaching humanitarian organization for children. Across 190 countries and territories, and in the world’s toughest places, we work day in and day out to help children survive. To defend their rights. To keep them protected, healthy and educated. To give them a fair chance to fulfil their potential. Our work for every child relies entirely on voluntary support, including donations from generous Canadians.
