Afghan children playing ‘marbles’, with stones

Play may involve fears and risks

Afghan children skiing with sneakers, shoes & sticks

We need to ask all those hard questions from the very beginning

What do we want children to grow up playing & learning?

‘Cos when the children fight let them know it ain’t right’

‘When the children pray let them know the way’

What can we say when the children cry in the wars which adults wage?

Background Music “When the children cry”

Little child, dry your crying eyes

How can I explain the fear you feel inside

Cos you were born into this evil world, where men has killed young men, and no one knows just why

What have we begun, just look what we have done

All that we destroyed, you must build again

When the children cry, let them know we tried

Cos when the children fight, let them know it ain’t right

When the children pray let them know the way

Cos when the children sing, then the new world begins
