FOR KIDS - WITH LOVE

Art & Children's Rights Event

December 2014 to February 2015

 

We are launching our new series VOICE OF ART with a thematic focus on Children's Rights. We have invited an international group of established Artists to dedicate themselves with current works, to articles of the Children's Rights, which are particularly important to them and to raise their voices for these children's concerns.

In the context of this event the works of the Artists are for sale. We have focused special support programs of selected Charity partners, which can be supported by the proceeds. Each Artist determines in which help program the proceeds from his work will flow.

For the opening of the event and exhibition a catalogue will be released.

Child poverty in Germany

Child poverty in Germany often is not visible, but a matter of urgency in our society. The actual numbers are alarming: Over 2,8 Million Children are affected by child poverty! More and more families in Germany get without actual fault in hopeless financial situations. Public authorities are often not able to help quick and unbureaucratic if it comes to the pinch. For this reason the Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk has founded the Kindernothilfefonds, which continuously supports kids and youngsters in state of emergencies.

Shaken Baby Syndrome

In Germany every year up to 250 babies suffer a Shaken Baby Syndrome / Abusive Head Trauma (SBS/AHT). It is a devastating form of abuse that happens when a person violently shakes an infant with or without impact. Approximately 75% of infants who are shaken suffer permanent brain injuries and 10 - 15 % of infants die as a result of their injuries. To inform parents, family members and other caregivers about the dangers related to violently shaking a baby and how SBS can be prevented can save many lives.

AMMAN, 5 July 2014 – Well into the fourth year of the Syrian crisis, its impact on children is becoming ever more devastating, newly-released United Nations data shows. The data, which accompany a revised UN funding appeal for its response to the crisis across the region, shows that 6.5 million Syrian children now need immediate humanitarian assistance, whether inside the country or living as refugees. The number is an increase of more than two million compared to just one year ago.
