The internationally-renowned broadcaster and journalist has pledged his support to help raise funds for Handicap International's vital work, including providing care to children injured by conflict. Children like Ali and Bakr, whose stories are featured in the appeal.

For 45 years, Mike Wooldridge has reported on some of the world's biggest news stories for the BBC. He will tell you about the terrible losses, injuries, and injustice that war inflicts on children and how the care and humanity of Handicap International’s team helps them in their recovery.
