New Save the Children ad shows child fleeing a UK civil war


Two years ago, Don't Panic London launched Most Shocking Second a Day to promote Save the Children's initiative supporting child refugees in Syria. The sequel to the original ad, which appeared online yesterday, features the same young girl. But this time, the video asks viewers to imagine her fleeing a refugee camp in Britain and going to an unknown place outside of her home country.

"A human tragedy is unfolding. 60 million people have been forced to flee their homes – creating the largest refugee crisis since World War II. Among them is a generation of children who have lost everything they know: their homes, their education – sometimes even their families.
It's a situation that has forced families into terrifying situations and impossible choices. And children have suffered most. 
This is our world. These are our children. We must ensure child refugees are not forgotten."

Hand-Painted Bags That Tell Your Story

  Most bags today look like they were produced by bored machines in a dimly lit factory. You can walk into any mall and find rows of identical leather (or “leather-like”) things, all claiming to express individuality. Ironically, though, they all look exactly the same. Then there’s Abby Verano . Her bags are not mere accessories; they’re declarations. Each one is hand-painted, touched by an actual human being with an imagination. Abby doesn’t just sell you something to put your wallet and smartphone in; she sells you a story, a vision, a little revolt against the tyranny of sameness.  Her tools are simple — brushes, acrylic paint, bags made from pandan leaves, and creativity. No duplicates. No clones. Just one-of-a-kind art pieces you can carry.
