A: Hey! Did you hear anything on the news today?

B: Not really! What's up?

A: Apparently, Save the Children is worried. A big boss from there was on NHK.

B: Oh no! What about?

A: The US is cutting back on aid money. A lot.

B: Seriously? That’s not good.

A: No, it’s really bad. They’ve had to close offices and lay off workers.

B: Wow, that’s a lot of people!

A: Exactly! And now, millions of kids aren't getting help with school, health, or just feeling safe.

B: That’s heartbreaking. What about Ukraine? I keep seeing things about that.

A: It’s even worse there. Over 3,800 schools are gone! Destroyed or closed.

B: Incredible! That’s devastating for those kids.

A: They’ve been trying to learn online, but Russia keeps attacking power stations. So, even that isn't working.

B: Oh man, it’s a terrible situation.

A: The boss lady said everyone needs to keep helping. It’s really important for those kids’ mental health too.

B: Absolutely. Hopefully, things will get better soon.
