  Sympathy message for Boosher children

  Thursday, April 18, 2013

  The International Association of Theatre for Children and Young People (ASSITEJ) has members in more than 85 countries across the world, but this week we are all holding you, the children and young people of Boosher province, in our thoughts and hearts. We think also of the children and young people affected by earthquakes in areas in Sistan and Baluchistan provinces, and the other places where earthquakes have recently hit Iran and Pakistan. We feel for all children and their families affected by this natural disaster, and particularly we think of those families who have lost children, who have family members injured, or whose homes have been destroyed. We know this is a dreadfully difficult time for you, and we hope that you will find the strength and courage to deal with the challenges that now face you.
