Notes
Hope chronicles UNICEF NZ's visit to the Saadnayel and Oumarieh Informal Refugee Settlement in Lebanon, where 3 million refugees - 500,000 of whom are children - have fled to escape the conflict in Syria. Accompanying the UNICEF team was broadcaster and investigative journalist Mike McRoberts and UNICEF ambassador Sonny Bill Williams. Christine Spring's photo-essay raises awareness of the situation millions of Syrians now find themselves in; unable to return home and traumatised by conflict. Hope is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and Christine's images puts you into the presence of the survivors allowing you to ,see a person, not a newsflash,, humanising the millions displaced by war. Hope raises interest and awareness of the work being done by UNICEF and other NGOs (non-governmental organisations) to provide healthcare, education and protection for the hundreds of thousands of children affected by conflict.
