We dedicate this report to the memory of the many children, parents, and unsung heros who have worked so hard to fight for a better life for their families and communities.

“Children should be allowed to play
every day of their lives,
whether they've been traumatized,
orphaned, are vulnerable, or not.
Through play children bring the world to their terms,
developing social skills and relations,
and deepening their understanding
of their experiences and surroundings."
