War Child Offices
There are three independent offices of War Child: War Child Canada (1999), War Child Holland (1994) and War Child UK (1993). These offices share the same aims and goals, but work autonomously, with independent trustees and financial coordination. The War Child Holland office is the largest of the three, with more than €12,6 million euro in projects spent (2010), and a direct reach of more than 700,000 children. War Child UK is the second largest office with projects for €4,3 million (2010). War Child Canada has the smallest operational budget of €3,4 million euro (2009).

Famous quotes containing the words war, child and/or offices:
“If we don’t end war, war will end us.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
“Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“The dogma of the mystic offices of Christ being dropped, and he standing on his genius as a moral teacher, ‘tis impossible to maintain the old emphasis of his personality; and it recedes, as all persons must, before the sublimity of the moral laws.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
