    Children of Syria: At the Domiz camp in Iraq

    It's been four months since I got back from Za'atari refugee camp in Jordan. It's there where I first had my heart broken by the desperate plight of Syria's children. Forced from their homes by violence, children have fled over Syria's borders in their hundreds of thousands to seek safety. Not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of them. It's quite straightforwardly wrong that anyone, let alone a child, should lose so much.

    Tom Hiddleston: Living Below the Line

    Earlier this month, Tom spent several days living £1 per day in support of Live Below The Line, which raises money for charities including UNICEF UK. Here are some of Tom's thoughts about the challenge.

    Living Below the Line isn’t easy. My name is Clare Nester and I'm the Community Fundraising Manager at UNICEF UK. I'll be Living Below the Line next week with many of you. Whilst I’m scratching my head trying to come up with ideas of getting through the week on just £5 for our food and drink, those in extreme poverty are making even more difficult decisions. They have to choose between medical care and food, education or clean water for their children. So rather than worrying about what to cook, I’m going to feel proud that my donations will help the 1 billion children whose reality it is to survive on less than a £1 day.
