Most of us have seen the (sadly famous) photos that has shaken the sleeping conscience of the world.
This picture has put us in front of the sad truth that for too long we have not wanted to see, for years we talk about refugees, war victims, homeless children, without schools or worse orphaned by the war.
But actually we have always thought it was something away from us .... but a picture has awakened us! That little body reminded us how close and real is this tragedy.
Some of our Royals expressed their grief over the affair. Queen Silvia of Sweden said in an interview '' ..... suddenly see the image of the three year old child ... It goes straight to the heart '.
The Queen founded in 1999
Childhood Foundation which is also supported by Princess Madeleine of Sweden.
The purpose of the foundation is to improve the plight of children around the world. World Childhood Foundation works to prevent abuse and exploitation of children. They support over 100 projects around the world, assisting children who are at risk of or are victims of abuse, children who are in alternative care, street children, and families at risk. (

Also Princess Mabel has posted something on her twitter profile.
Since many year Queen Rania is actively support of UNICEF, she was named as UNICEF’s first ever Eminent Advocate for Children on 26 January 2007, at the World Economic Forum in Davos,.

During the 2008 conflict in Gaza Her Majesty said "our humanity is incomplete when children, irrespective of nationality, are victims of military operations."
The Queen has embarked on a personal mission to enhance the quality of life for children. As president of the National Council for Family Affairs, she championed the National Plan of Action for Children (NPA), which aims at enhancing the quality of life for children by ensuring healthcare, basic education and protection from abuse, exploitation and violence. I feel very close to her in this endeavor,
"School is a place of learning and opportunity, a sanctuary for healing and
health, and a haven of normalcy and hope for the future. Education not only increases the chances that, someday,
children will be able to support themselves and seek a better life for their families; it also provides them with the
skills to rebuild their societies. And it can instill in them a desire to seek reconciliation when the conflicts have
been resolved and the catastrophes have ended."- Anthony Lake, UNICEF Executive Director - July 3, 2015
But unfortunately, more than 13 million children are not going to school due to conflicts in the region.
Conflicts wipe out years of investment and achievements in education and can cripple the development of education systems. In countries like Syria, the conflict has reversed more than two decades of expansion of access to education.

"I have seen children trying to write on the ground
because they want to learn so much."-Jameela, head teacher in a school in Sa’ada, northern Yemen.
People often ask me why i am a Royal fan, here's the answer: It's not just fashion, jewelry and gala dinners, despite their privileged position these people make a hard and constant work to keep attention focused on important issues that often we forget .
