The President of the United States is a busy man but students around the world will have a chance to give him some advice on critical issues facing the globe today. They might help him understand the life of a child who goes to work instead of school. Or they might describe how climate change is affecting people in developing countries. Or they might advise him on how to tackle world hunger to improve the lives of millions of people worldwide. Concern Worldwide, the international humanitarian organisation, has launched its second annual essay competition, the Cecil Woodham-Smith Writing Competition, for students to write about global issues. The competition, which has three categories - Junior, 12-15 year olds; Senior, 16-18 year olds; and Adult, 19 year olds and over - invites entrants to submit the letter they would write to President Obama on one of the following issues: Child Labour, Climate Change and the Developing World, or World Hunger. The letter can be in the style of a factual essay or a fictional story on one of the issues.
Concern has received over 800 entries in the competition, and an external judging panel will select the best ten in each category, which, along with notable extracts from other submissions, will be published as "Dear President Obama"...This book will be promoted heavily by The Liffey Press and Concern Worldwide and is certain to receive a great deal of media attention.
