En només dos anys, del 2001 al 2003, la xifra mundial d'orfes a causa de la Sida ha augmentat d'11,5 milions a 15 milions, i la majoria d'ells viuen a l'Àfrica. Aquesta és una de les conclusions d'aquest informe d'Unicef que recull les últimes estadÃstiques sobre el nombre estimat de menors de 18 anys que han quedats orfes per aquesta malaltia i altres causes. El document subratlla les necessitats canviants d'aquests nens a mesura que creixen i es converteixen en adolescents i fa una crida urgent al suport de les seves famÃlies i comunitats.

Lähes kuusi miljoonaa irakilaista koululaista aloittelee tänä syksynä toista kouluvuottaan ilman Saddam Husseinin varjoa. Kaikille on luvattu uudet kirjat, mutta niiden sisältö on paljolti ennallaan. Vuosikymmenet Saddamia vastaan taistelleet puolueet vaativat, että baath-ideologia on juurittava kansakunnan muistista. Toisten mielestä taas historia pitää tallettaa tulevillekin sukupolville.

Iloa lasten elämään tuo muun muassa urheilu, kertoo Kumppani-lehden tuore numero. Lapsuus-teemanumerossa muistutetaan myös, että vieläkin aivan liian moni lapsi joutuu raskaisiin töihin sen sijaan että pääsisi kouluun.
