we watched, and the children waited

from program:
Beyond borders and headlines, countless children inherit hunger as aid is halted and borders close. This piece is a small act of witness, a reminder of what it means to look, to feel, and not turn away. May it serve as a call to conscience—an urging to recognize our shared responsibility as those who were once children on this earth.
Inviting and encouraging continued generousity and support through donations to organizations such as UNICEF and the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, which work to combat child hunger, displacement, and the loss of access to basic human needs.
