Share love for people around the world this Valentine's Day - children's poems

This Valentine's Day I wanted to share a request that we send some love and support to the people affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. If you are able and would like to support the victims of this terrible event, you can donate to one of the organisations and charities below: Trendyol - Buy and send essential goods directly to those in need in the affected area https://earthquake.trendyol.com/ Disasters Emergency Committee - raising funds across multiple charities that provide direct response https://donation.dec.org.uk/turkey-sy... UNICEF - Supporting children https://www.unicefusa.org/stories/dev... Medecins Sans Frontiere - Providing specific medical assistance https://msf.org.uk/secure/donate/emer... ___ I hope these poems can help provide a way to discuss how love and faith are important in the face of tragedy and unexpected events in life. They can be used as part of a wider discussion to remind children that friendship and community are powerful forces for good and can sustain people through difficult times. 0:00 - Intro 0:33 - Poem 1 My Land, My Love 1:44 - Poem 2 (Untitled) 2:29 - Poem 3 Flame ___ If you would like a copy of the text of the poems you can email - storytimewithlydia@gmail.com For more poetry for children you can visit our playlist -    • Poems   #storiesforteaching #storiesforlearning #poetryforkids #storytimelydia ____ Credits to Mixkit for music and images Poems by Lydia Shaw
