Hassan was born with Down's Syndrome. His freedom to walk alone was limited inside the camp until The Lost Child Center was established.
16 year-old Hassan and his family fled the violence in Syria nine months ago and settled in Za'atari refugee camp, Jordan. Like other teenagers Hassan loved to spend time outdoors, playing with his brothers and friends. However, inside the camp, his freedom was limited because he was born with Down's syndrome. He had to be accompanied every time he went outside since in a camp of 120,000 people there was good chance of him losing his way alone.
Hassan's older brother, Sameer: "It was five months ago when we let Hassan walk alone to the supermarket near our tent. It was 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Hassan had some friends in the camp and they usually went to the mosque together. So, we were not worried when he did not return for 2 to 3 hours. By 10 pm, I began to worry and went to look for him at the mosque. When I did not find him there I immediately contacted the Social Workers at the Lost Child Center to inquire about my brother.
I started to think that something bad might have happened to Hassan as he was having trouble breathing because of the dust in the camp or maybe a car had hit him. My brother has Down's syndrome and does not speak properly. I was terrified thinking about what might have happened..
Hassan had wandered around the camp as he could not find his way back to our tent. The police found him but could not keep him at their headquarters overnight in Za'atari. They thought it best to take him to Amman until his family was located the next day. There was miscommunication in the police and they thought Hassan was missing from a disability center in the city".
Now, Sameer makes sure that Hassan carries his identification card whenever he goes out of his neighbourhood. He also wears the yellow bracelet to represent the district where he lives in Za'atari.
The social workers and volunteers at Save the Children's Lost Child Center, supported by OCHA, are known throughout the camp because of their regular interactions with the resident families. They have a hotline number which is known by almost all adults living in the camp. Their work is renowned for coordinating with camp authorities, police, imams and street leaders inside Za'atari to identify and reunite lost children with their families.
Syrian volunteers working at the Lost Child Center are identified by their green t-shirts and caps. The Center has a large green flag with a yellow circle in the middle for children and parents to easily identify its location. More than 1,150 lost children have been reunited with their families since the Center began functioning in February 2013.

Are you a piece?
Pioneers of the emerging contemporary craft movement Mr X Stitch, Deadly Knitshade & Hilary of Craftblog UK are joining the Craftivist Collective to urge the craft community to help us create a giant jigsaw embroidered with provocative messages to support Save the Children's Race Against Hunger Campaign. Wanna join us?
In November 2012 we went on a trip to Indonesia to see how people are tackling child malnutrition there with the support of Save the Children.
What?
Using jigsaw pieces stitched by craftivists (that means you!), the project will create an art installation to raise awareness of the issues of world hunger and injustice. As well as making a piece for the artwork, we're encouraging you to make one for yourself to keep as a reminder to be part of the solution, and to give a piece stitched with the words "I'm a piece" to your MP, to ask them to be the positive change they wish to see in the world. You can find instructions here, your jigsaw template here, suggested slogans here, a story to reflect on whilst stitching here and there's also a video here.- everything you should need!
Why?
The aim is to raise awareness and show that the craft community wants the Government to use its power and influence as host of the 2013 G8 to tackle injustice. Each piece of the puzzle will be stitched with a message to remind us we can all improve the world and help fulfill its potential to be a more beautiful place for all.
Where?
There will be craft events across the country from Manchester to London, Cardiff and Milton Keynes and crafty activists are invited to do the project on their own, with friends or set up their own event, as well as spreading messages and images about the project through their social media platforms using #imapiece. And, of course, we hope you'll sign the Race Against Hunger petition too.
You can help!
Please join the Craftivist Collective's Jigsaw Project, which will run until the spring 2013. Help put hunger at the top of the agenda at the G8 next summer, and encourage us all to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

With recurring droughts and floods, producing food in Mozambique's Zambezi valley is a major issue. But setting up a bakery with funding from Britain has meant that one local association is managing to generate income to buy food and clothes for their families.
In the Zambezi valley of Mozambique, climate change has affected hundreds of thousands people, who largely depend on rain-fed subsistence agriculture to make a living. With funding from UKaid from the Department for International Development, Save the Children works with farming communities affected by recurring floods and drought to enhance their resilience to the impact of climate change.

Carolyn Miles, Save the Children Chief Operating Officer; Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH); Dr. Ferdousi Begum of Save the Children in Bangladesh; and Lisa Edelstein of FOX TV's HOUSE during a Save the Children Advocacy Day visit on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC on May 6, 2010.
Edelstein made a HOUSE call to encourage U.S. leaders to make sure lifesaving health care reaches babies and toddlers who need it most in all corners of the world. Nearly 24,000 children under 5 die every day from preventable and treatable causes due to the lack of basic health care. Yet, simple solutions - like antibiotics to treat infection and oral rehydration solutions to treat dehydration - delivered by local health workers could help most of these children survive.
Edelstein’s visit to the halls of the Capitol comes on the heels of Save the Children and the Ad Council launching a major national public service campaign called “See Where the Good Goes.” The multi-media campaign seeks to show Americans that they can have a significant impact on saving and improving the lives of at-risk children and newborns by supporting the delivery of lifesaving health care through local health workers.

Deborah Lau, a UK-IETR (The UK International Emergency Trauma Register) medic, treats a typhoon Haiyan survivor.
The British medicis visited the North East Panay Islands between 19-21 November and 150 patients were assessed and treated, many with minor injuries related to the typhoon, some of which were becoming infected. They reported a slight increase in cases of diarrhoea and respiratory tract infections. A number of patients with new diagnosis were identified by the medical team: multiple cases of TB, various cancers and a cleft palette. These cases were referred through the normal healthcare system.
The UK-IETR medics are part of a team of 12 emergency British medical staff deployed by the Department for International Development (DFID) and are part of Save the Children and Merlin's response to the disaster, providing assistance to seven islands in 4 days. As of 25th November 2013, 300 patients have been assessed and treated to date by the team.

“Before the Ebola outbreak, we used to eat a lot of bush meat, but we didn’t know that Ebola could be in that meat. We now protect ourselves from Ebola by following the messages given to us, washing our hands, not eating bush meat, not touching someone who is showing Ebola symptoms…”
Save the Children, with EU support, worked with community leaders, such as Chief Augustin to raise awareness on how to stop Ebola from spreading and how to seek immediate medical attention. These activities helped to reach out to community members, build community knowledge and trust, and promote acceptance of the Ebola response measures.

About The Project (Oct 2012- March 2013)
Are you a piece?
Pioneers of the emerging contemporary craft movement Mr X Stitch, Deadly Knitshade & Hilary of Craftblog UK are joining the Craftivist Collective to urge the craft community to help us create a giant jigsaw embroidered with provocative messages to support Save the Children's Race Against Hunger Campaign. Wanna join us?
In November 2012 we went on a trip to Indonesia to see how people are tackling child malnutrition there with the support of Save the Children.
What?
Using jigsaw pieces stitched by craftivists (that means you!), the project will create an art installation to raise awareness of the issues of world hunger and injustice. As well as making a piece for the artwork, we're encouraging you to make one for yourself to keep as a reminder to be part of the solution, and to give a piece stitched with the words "I'm a piece" to your MP, to ask them to be the positive change they wish to see in the world. You can find instructions here, your jigsaw template here, suggested slogans here, a story to reflect on whilst stitching here and there's also a video here.- everything you should need!
Why?
The aim is to raise awareness and show that the craft community wants the Government to use its power and influence as host of the 2013 G8 to tackle injustice. Each piece of the puzzle will be stitched with a message to remind us we can all improve the world and help fulfill its potential to be a more beautiful place for all.
Where?
There will be craft events across the country from Manchester to London, Cardiff and Milton Keynes and crafty activists are invited to do the project on their own, with friends or set up their own event, as well as spreading messages and images about the project through their social media platforms using #imapiece. And, of course, we hope you'll sign the Race Against Hunger petition too.
You can help!
Please join the Craftivist Collective's Jigsaw Project, which will run until the spring 2013. Help put hunger at the top of the agenda at the G8 next summer, and encourage us all to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
