This magazine is best known to stick to its editorial guidelines. It has become a tradition of our publication to devote our December world exclusive editorial to highlighting the plight of children caught up in the world’s various vicissitudes.
From the UK’s thousands of children stuck in abject poverty due to the cost of living crisis, to Cameroonian infants caught up in the ongoing Anglophone crisis, to those children, lost in the midst of havoc as The Russian Ukraine war continues, to list just a few. Uncertainty for children’s right to peaceful upbringings is all-pervasive.
Child poverty and suffering endangers the human species to future extinction .
The number of children currently trapped in poverty in UK and across the world is unthinkable.’ Over 14.5 million people are living in poverty in the UK. That includes 4.3 million children.’ The Joseph Rowntree Foundation revealed on September 2022:

Meanwhile, recent statistics on UNICEF about child poverty across the world reveal: “About 1 billion children are multidimensionally poor, meaning they lack necessities as basic as nutrition or clean water.”
This December is not about analysing each case individually.
We give one more time a voice to a child, that of our young contributor via her poem (written when she was an infant) to send a message of peace and social justice, not only to children in war zones, but also to other disadvantaged infants in the UK and all the children worldwide.

A childhood wish is believed to come true as it usually comes from deep in the heart. A childhood wish is able to move mountains, find the missing, overpower the existing, and thus improve the future.
Below is Orchid’s aforementioned poem.
Magical Christmas
Christmas – a time of joy, happiness and love,
A magical time tinselled with stars above.
Children are lost in the midst of havoc as The Russian Ukraine war continues: Uncertainty for children’s right to peaceful upbringings is all-pervasive. Recent statistics on UNICEF about child poverty across the world reveal: “About 1 billion children are multidimensionally poor, meaning they lack necessities as basic as nutrition or clean water.”

Christmas – so many colours: red, white, brown, green; A festival of light igniting my delight.
Christmas – a wonder, a treasure, a miracle Summoned by a baby in a manger long ago.
Christmas – most beautiful time of the year:
Bright lights fill winter streets spreading cheer.
Christmas – children playing in piling snow;

Girls hoping for kisses under the mistletoe.
Christmas – the wise men followed the star
Which led to a gathering round a warm fire.
Christmas carols sung by children’s choirs;
Robins chorusing from berried hedgerows.
All believers in the Christmas spirit raise
Your cups to fellowship and togetherness –Make sure you have yourself a MERRY CHRISTMAS.
A poem by Orchidée Wafo
This December is not about analysing each case individually. We give one more time a voice to a child, that of our young contributor via her poem (written when she was an infant) to send a message of peace and social justice, not only to children in war zones, but also to other disadvantaged infants in the UK and all the children worldwide.

We hope Orchid’s Christmas wishes poem will rise and become triumphant by having a healing impact on children suffering in the UK and worldwide.
Not to mention, a peaceful Christmas to children’s souls who have lost their lives before Christmas.
The Bridge Magazine wishes:
Merry Christmas to the tens of thousands of children stuck in abject poverty!
Merry Christmas to all children in war zones!
Merry Christmas to all the disadvantaged children around the globe!
Merry Christmas to every child around the world!

The peculiar element of Orchidée’s religious art work is that the faces always remain unfinished. When asked as to the reason why, she replied:
“It defies the principle of a supernatural entity’s identity to remain ambiguous to the human eye. It can only subsequently be fully revealed to a person after death.”
