This was a difficult year

a year of conflict

a year of crisis

The world seems an altogether too dangerous place to be a child

Yet, in a sea of grief…

This, this is where we see the best in people

That’s why we wanted to say

Thank you

For every heart that has been broken too young and must be repaired

Thank you

From every heart that will, until its last beat, beat for children

From every country where we work

Thank you.

For every child who is stronger, healthier and happier because of you

Thank you

Wherever we are, wherever there is a child in need, you’re there too

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you very much
