Great haiku. Would work equally well for advertising for Save the Children or a similar group.

Very nice sentiment. Well said, especially when said within the limitations of haiku. Thank you for sharing this delightful piece.

Such a big statement with a few words tells us you have a great deal of compassion. It also prompts us to think about helping the world out.

Thank you,
blessings,
