Today Save the Children launches its Global Vigil for Syria. Tomorrow it will be 2 years since the violence in Syria began. Since then over a million refugees have fled Syria, and more than half of those are children.
This short film from Cat Carter, who works with refugees near the Syrian border, gives you an idea of what they are going through.
We need to increase the political pressure, to persuade our goverments to take further action to stop this horror from continuing. You can help in a few quick and easy ways:-
- Via social media – you could either tweet or facebook something along these lines- “Join me & @savechildrenuk in a Global Vigil demanding world leaders unite to help save Syria’s children http://bit.ly/XnyRqD #SyriaCrisis“
- You can join the Global online vigil.
- Or you can donate to help provide much needed resources on the ground.

With enough people shouting we can bring this back onto the agenda of global leaders,
thanks for reading.
