This video is from Worldvision, and documents the actual living conditions of homeless children in Mongolia. Film conveys a lot: but like almost all art, it does not convey touch, smell, taste; this video does its best to include at least a verbal document of those miseries of children's street life. Along the way, it is also an essay on public health issues.

I checked, and according to CharityNavigator, Worldvision and Save the Children are two highly-rated charities for seeing to children's needs across the world. Worldvision is a non-denominational Christian charity based in Washington State and around the world.
Cassie over at the FPA Children's blog is doing a wonderful job of bringing children's issues forward: everything from child soldiers to child weddings to the quality of toys. Go check out what she's up to: it's the stuff of real family values.
