The organization that I chose to argue for is “Childhelp”. Childhelp is an organization for abused children founded by Sara O’Meara and Yvonne Fedderson in 1959. It started in Tokyo, Japan when they promised to take care of 10 orphans, which later the number got up to 100 children. The mission statement is “Childhelp exists to meet the physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs of abused, neglected and at-risk children. We focus our efforts on advocacy, prevention, treatment, and community outreach”. Basically, this organization allows for children to receive all kind of help to prevent child abuse and to treat abused children. The program wants to be able to heal and develop self-esteem in every child and give the children unconditional love that they usually don’t receive
Facts are given when asked for you to donate to the organization about how many children each day die from child abuse and how often it’s (child abuse) reported. Every dollar that is donated to the organization, 90 cents of the dollar is used to support the children.
The reason I chose this organization is because I believe that children are a unique creation because they are all different in some way. Abusing children is like abusing little people that don’t really know what is going on and don’t know how to fight back. When I think about someone abusing a innocent human being it makes me want to do all I can do so there is no more abusing on this people who don’t even know what entirely is going on.

I think it's really interesting. I think it's great that you picked an organization that mostly help with kids because it is important for kids to be stable and be happy with themselves. And it is very important to provide them with opportunities to develope and find their true-self.
