To show their solidarity and support for children in Ukraine who have been impacted by the war, young ones from different parts of the world sing a specially relyricised version of the well-known children's song This Little Light Of Mine, on YouTube.

On Feb 24 this year, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014. Schools were closed and children were forced to learn online.
