And, of course, they only make sense from a certain perspective.\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div>\u201cThis film explores what exactly is casting this evocative shadow. Our sculpture represents many of the causes of child mortality around the world: not just the obvious war, famine and pestilence, but also less direct causes such as lack of education or being orphaned. When you stop to look at the issues from the right perspective, the scale of it all is terrifying. But with the right approach, and with enough people willing to do something about it, every single one of those deaths is preventable.<\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div>\u201cWe hope that our video inspires people to be the little girl: to go back and rescue those who have been left behind.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div>Othman Moqbel, CEO of Human Appeal, commented, \u201cThis year\u2019s Ramadan campaign aims to spread awareness not only of the scale of global poverty, but also all the factors which contribute to the problem. From providing access to clean water to helping prevent the spread of disease, this film highlights the work that Human Appeal does to help some of the world\u2019s poorest people. We hope its inclusive, global message will encourage both Muslims and non-Muslims alike to donate.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human Appeal Launches Powerful New Video International humanitarian aid charity\u00a0Human Appeal\u00a0has partnered with multi award-winning content agency\u00a0Don\u2019t Panic London\u00a0to produce an arresting new film. \u2018Shine A Light\u2019 raises awareness of the variety of human rights abuses and humanitarian issues that Human Appeal seeks to redress.&#13; &#13; The film has been launched to coincide with Ramadan, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11753,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theasiantoday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
