Education in Emergencies. The Voices of
Courage Awards Luncheon 2006 film that depicts the critical need for education
for the displaced in conflict situations.
Traditional humanitarian assistance donors do not view
education as life-saving and therefore not vital in the emergency stage of a
conflict. In Darfur, however, the "emergency" has gone on for more than three
years amid ongoing violence. It is unconscionable that children would continue
to be deprived of one of their basic human rights. These children and young
people are Darfur’s key to a better future. With education, they will help
create a peaceful and prosperous Darfur. Education must be a vital part of
humanitarian assistance worldwide.
