FRIDAY’S C.0.R.5.0. APPEAL
I AM YOUR CHILD
This is Nam, who has seen things that you and I never want to see. War and death. Disease and death. And the long horror of death by starvation. Mother and father gone, suddenly . . . baby sister, in twenty days ... his elder brother, slowly—because he made Nam eat mostyrf the food they found or begged. All that Nam has seen and felt is written in his eyes. Now he is your child, to help care for, because the people of his own country are now too poor to feed him properly. It is only far-off folk like us who can really help.. There are two million more like him in China innocent orphans of the ten years’ war. If they can live through the next year or two they will grow up safely. In the meantime you can help at least one of them to stay alive . . . one little boy or girl depends utterly on CORISO, on your money gift to CORSO funds. Yes, in this one world of today it is desperately true that this child is your child. Because his life is in your hand . . . the hand you put into your pocket or purse as the CORSO collector comes up to you in the Strand on Friday next.
