EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartfelt moment of support and compassion during a time of conflict. In the image, we see John Shaw, positioned third from the left, alongside renowned actress Juliet Stevenson on the right. Both individuals are proudly supporting the War Child Charity. The War Child Charity was established in 1993 by British filmmakers Bill Leeson and David Wilson upon their return from documenting the war in former Yugoslavia. The organization's first convoy traveled to this war-torn region with essential equipment and food to operate a mobile bakery. Shortly after, Willemijn Verloop founded War Child Netherlands in 1994 after meeting Music Therapy professor Nigel Osborne during the Bosnian war. Their programs have since focused on providing psychosocial aid. War Child Canada came into existence in 1998 through Samantha Nutt and Eric Hoskins' efforts. This powerful photograph serves as a reminder of their collective dedication to helping children affected by conflict. Taken on January 28th, 1993, this snapshot encapsulates an era marked by turmoil but also showcases humanity's unwavering commitment to making a difference. It symbolizes hope amidst despair and emphasizes that even during times of darkness, there are individuals who strive tirelessly to provide care and support for those most vulnerable – our children.
