“I visited a UNICEF-supported child-friendly space today in Sudan. Such spaces help children who are caught in a crisis to gather in an environment where they can be children and feel protected,” shares UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Ishmael Beah from his trip to Sudan.
“The kids I met in these spaces told me they felt safe. It was great to see the smiles on their faces. The games, sports, art and drama activities in these spaces give them fun and joy but they also allow children to express their feelings - fear, grief, loss and uncertainty. The spaces provide non-formal education and learning activities for children whose education has been disrupted by conflict.
Children need this! But more than anything, they need peace. Join me and UNICEF in calling for a ceasefire for the children of Sudan.”
