Review On The Charity News Of SOS Children Village

The “Twenty years of SOS Children's Villages in Armenia”, which was reported on 7th, July, 2010, has been described the 20th anniversary of the Children's Villages in Armenia. The article is really an excellent one.


In general, the content of the whole story consists of three parts. In the beginning, the reporter gave us a succinct description to recall the sad and shocking facts caused by the horrible 6.9 earthquake twenty years ago. The accurate numbers of the suffers, especially the homeless children, shock the readers constantly. Actually, this is a good way to lead us to keep reading the following passages, because it arouses the sympathy of people, who are always pay attention to the charity, particularly the orphans left by the tremendous disaster. The main part of the article provides information about the process of the event in the SOS children’s village, and there are several important and representative persons running through the entire text. The last part is the “the mother’s word”, which is emotional and heart-warming. The independent paragraph is a good and commendable way to impress readers by the touching approach, in order to make people remember the common but great mother and the SOS children village.

A story will not be successful without the rich content. In addition, the structure and design are of great significance, too.

In terms of the design, we can conclude that the news includes words, pictures, and links. There are two things which are worthy of appreciation. On one hand, the picture taken from the locale of the event is really deserved to be mentioned, as people can know and see the lovely children with rare smiles on their faces. The screen shot of map tells us the location timely and precisely. On the other hand, the clear and convenient links are on the right side of the entire page, which supplies for other relevant news in the lately months. It is mentionable that several links about charity news of different fields such as aids in Africa and entrance to the donation online page are showed directly. All these galleries are effective for people with good heart to get access to the pages which they want to.

To conclude, the article really works. The new journalist can learn a lot from the news, which is delivered in the website:
