Notes from the Field
There Is a Good Plan
Blog by Thomas Schwarz of CARE Germany-Luxemburg Protection and care for children CARE frequently works with the United Nations. Some say we are “prime partners” because we have such a long and versatile experience in humanitarian work. For example, we’ve worked in the refugee camps in Daadab, Kenya, during the crisis in Georgia last year and loaned our assistance after the tsunami in Asia in 2004. Now, the United Nations has bestowed upon us another task: helping the refugees in Pakistan. For thousands of children in Pakistan today, it is important to get psychosocial assistance in order to handle their traumatic experiences. As a part of this work, CARE is helping organize school lessons for the refugee children. Most of the children are between five and 11 years old. Yesterday, at a donor meeting, I met a school teacher who works one and a half hours away from Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. He told me, “When the children study together, they forget the hours of war and the noise of the arms for a few hours. Then, they are fine. At least for this short time.” Once the noise of the rifles stops completely, it is our task to protect their souls.
