This training manual has been prepared and commented upon by a great number of actors and individuals. While the process has been led by the UNICEF Office of Emergency Programmes (EMOPS) and the Division of Human Resources (DHR), many colleagues from both within UNICEF and outside have contributed to the different modules. The materials were tested and further developed and adjusted as a result of pilot workshops at Headquarters level (in 1998) and in the field (in 1999).

Comments on the materials and suggestions for changes and updating are welcome. Please forward any such comments to fax number 1-212-326-7037, or E-mail opscen@unicef.org, attention of the Project Officer, Humanitarian Principles.

Dreaming of Peace

"War is the saddest word that flows from my quivering lips," writes 12-year-old Maida from Skopje. "It is a wicked bird that never comes to rest. . .War is the evilest of birds, turning streets red with blood and the world into an inferno." The conflict in former Yugoslavia is seen through the eyes of Maida and more than 50 children in I Dream of Peace: Images of War by Children of Former Yugoslavia, an 80 page, full colour collection of writings and drawings.

I Dream of Peace: Images of War by Children of Former Yugoslavia, a UNICEF book launched in March/April 1994, has been published in ten languages and more than 18 countries, with a combined international first edition print run approaching 200,000 copies. An indictment of war by its most innocent victims, I Dream of Peace is a universal cry for children's fundamental right to live in peace. Proceeds from the sale of the book will go to the "I Dream of Peace Fund" to support programmes for children affected by war throughout the world.

Poignant renderings of their experience of war and yearning for peace, the drawings and writings were created as part of UNICEF's ongoing psychosocial trauma treatment programme to train specialists, teachers and parents to help respond to the psychological effects of war on children.

Drawing a Path to Healing

In 1998, UNICEF continues to protest the illegal abduction, and assist in securing the release and rehabilitation, of an estimated 8,000 northern Ugandan children by members of the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Seized during raids on their villages and schools, the children are kidnapped to serve as rebel soldiers. Frequently harboured across the border in southern Sudan, they are subjected to brutal initiation rites, including being forced to kill other children. Girls are often forced to serve as wives to rebel commanders. Together with partner NGOs including AVSI, the Gulu Support for Children Organisation (GUSCO), a local NGO, Red Barnet and World Vision, UNICEF is working to improve psychosocial and other support to the approximately 3,000 children who have escaped from the LRA.

The drawings by the children of Uganda were created as part of the trauma treatment programmes for former abductees at UNICEF-assisted centres run by AVSI, GUSCO and World Vision.
