Last-Minute Gift Idea: A Safe, Fun Space for Children


December 24, 2011
By The IRC

Children affected by crisis often experience double shocks: the fear of such a devastating tragedy and the stress of adjusting to life in a displacement camp. As quickly as possible, our teams set up child-friendly spaces to help them cope with their trauma. These dedicated play areas feature supervised art, sports and music activities designed to help them interact with other children and begin to heal.

$80 can deliver supplies for a child-friendly space in the wake of disaster, including art materials, games and other fun items that let kids get back to being kids.
 
Give a Safe, Fun Space for Children  this holiday season as a symbolic gift that represents the International Rescue Committee’s efforts helping people rebuild in the wake of disasters.  We'll deliver a personalized e-card on the day you choose.
