street-children quickly realized that here was someone who sincerely wanted
to help, without asking anything in return.
During that summer they made about 4,000 sandwiches, and when the

remains the single biggest obstacle to meeting the needs of children and

rights violations, and it also gives rise to conflict and child abuse.

conflict-prevention, humanitarian assistance, peacebuilding
and long-term development co-operation. Norway will allocate more to
development, and will seek to persuade other donor countries to do the same.
