But some students say uniforms are uncomfortable. There are different opinions about wearing a uniform. Are these policies the best way to keep kids focused on learning? Or should students be allowed to wear what they want? But, wearing a uniform is mandatory in many schools in the world especially in India.

According to Time for Kids, one student says: Uniforms are as much about safety as they are about inclusion. Teachers don’t have to worry about losing sight of students at the playground or on a field trip. Also, when kids wear uniforms, both the older and younger students feel like they are part of the same group. I wear a uniform and feel like my school is one big team. I feel included.

I think it is harder to bully someone about his or her clothes if you are all wearing the same thing. When everyone is dressed the same, you don’t have to worry about how you look or about wearing the latest trend. Parents can save money, too! And in the morning, I can save time because I don’t have to choose what clothes I should wear.

Still, there are a lot of parents in India who can not afford to buy a uniform for their children and even notebooks, pens, shoes, etc. Your donation helps children to pay school fees and buy textbooks, notebooks, lab supplies, etc. Thanks, you would like to support them now.

]]> Nigeria: At least 46 people died in Fulani-Attack and Children lost one of their parents https://crosschildren.org/fulani-attack/ Mon, 10 Apr 2023 18:47:52 +0000 https://crosschildren.org/?p=4347 Gunmen kill at least 46 people in a Fulani-attack on a rural village in Nigeria. ”Forty-six bodies have been found after gunmen attacked a rural village in central northern Nigeria local government officials said, the latest in a series of deadly assaults in the region”.

The attack happened on Wednesday in Umogidi in Benue state, where tit-for-tat clashes are common between nomadic herders and settled farmers competing for land and resources.

“The 46 casualties were from the bodies of victims found and retrieved. Many people are still missing, so the number of those killed may be higher,” Paul Hemba, the security adviser to the Benue state governor, told AFP.

Many children lost one of their parents in this Fulani-Attack. Please pray for these children.

]]> Health Crisis and Spread of Disease in Syria following earthquakes https://crosschildren.org/earthquakes-2/ Tue, 07 Mar 2023 15:57:18 +0000 https://demo.creativethemes.com/blocksy/floreo/?p=446 Doctors have warned that children are at risk of developing hypothermia and being exposed to waterborne diseases because of earthquakes. Very little humanitarian aid has reached Northwest Syria in the past few days, and medical supplies are running out.

More than 5.4 million children who live across the quake zone were at risk of developing anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

“They need to be able to resume their education, and they urgently need psychosocial support to help deal with the trauma they have experienced.” Let us pray for Syria.

]]> Action needed to protect children from the global hunger crisis https://crosschildren.org/action-needed-to-protect-children-from-the-global-hunger-crisis/ Thu, 02 Mar 2023 15:56:37 +0000 https://demo.creativethemes.com/blocksy/floreo/?p=443 The global hunger crisis terrifies us. The numbers facing extreme hunger are staggering. If you stood 45 million people shoulder to shoulder the line would stretch nearly 13,000 miles (~20,500 kilometers) – from London to Paris and back, 43 times, or 3.5 round-trips from New York to Paris. The number of starving would fill more than 52,000 A380 SuperJumbos – the world’s largest passenger aircraft. Right now, four times more people are enduring catastrophic conditions of starvation compared to just 15 months ago. The situation is worsening in many hunger hotspots around the globe. 

Millions of children are at risk of death unless immediate action is taken to address the global hunger crisis, warn six of the world’s largest NGOs working on behalf of children. In India, many children are homeless – let’s pray for them. CrossChildren kindly asks you to donate to the children in India.

]]> TIME Person of the Year https://crosschildren.org/time-perosn-of-the-year/ Thu, 05 Jan 2023 18:21:00 +0000 https://crosschildren.org/?p=4342 On December 7, Volodymyr Zelensky was named TIME magazine’s 2022 Person of the Year. He is the president of Ukraine. 

“Person of the Year has always been an occasion to step back and think about the year through the lens of the people who helped shape it,” says TIME’s editor in chief, Edward Felsenthal. Zelensky “persuaded the West that freedom was at stake not just in Ukraine but across the world.”

In February, Russia invaded Ukraine. It was predicted that the nation would be taken over in days. Zelensky stayed to lead his country. Almost a year later, he and the Ukrainian people are still fighting to protect their independence. There are a lot of people who died during this war and many Children do not have fathers anymore. Let us pray for these children and share some love.

]]> Gender identity: Boy or Girl? https://crosschildren.org/gender-identity/ Mon, 02 Jan 2023 19:09:07 +0000 https://crosschildren.org/?p=4352 Gender identity is a hot topic in schools. Being a boy or a girl, for most children, is something that feels very natural. At birth, babies are assigned male or female based on physical characteristics. This refers to the “sex” / “assigned gender” of the child.

Meanwhile, “gender identity” refers to an internal sense people have of who they are that comes from an interaction of biological traits, developmental influences, and environmental conditions. This may be male, female, somewhere in between, or a combination of both or neither. Hence, children can choose their gender and it will be thought so in schools.

Bible says that in the beginning God had created a Man and a Woman and there is no other gender in between. Unfortunately, people lack in this situation God’s wisdom. CrossChildren International Ministries works hard to share the Gospel with Childen, to read the Bible, and to grow in faith. Please pray for us to do this work faithfully and support our work.
