A CHILDREN’S charity is calling on Irvine and Kilwinning residents to remember the vulnerable kids of Syria this Hallowe’en by ditching the scary face on your pumpkin and carving a heart instead.
World Vision, the world’s largest international children’s charity, has made the North Ayrshire plea for support on October 31 to highlight the horrors facing Syrian children.
It is all part of World Vision’s annual Night of Hope campaign which aims to help children living in the world’s poorest countries.
This year, the charity has pledged to help the children of Syria; uprooted by civil war and living in fear of hunger, disease, violence, conflict and exploitation.
All you need to do is carve a heart in your pumpkin as a symbol of hope and share a picture of it with the charity at facebook.com/worldvisionuk so that we can show the children that they haven’t been forgotten. Or to carve a virtual pumpkin visit, anightofhopeworldvision.org.uk To go further, text ‘HEART’ to 70060 to donate £5, to help fund vital schooling for some of these children who have had their education disrupted and their lives turned upside down.
