Children are the most beautiful thing in this world. If you ask any father or mother what the most challenging feeling you have is if they find their child suffering and they cannot help them. 

Variety, the Children's Charity, is a Winnipeg organization that offers a variety of programs to help families and their children navigate the challenges they face in the modern age. This "Civic Platform" episode features Jeff Liba, Chief Executive Officer of Variety. Liba spoke about the importance of Variety and its history in helping children and their families in Winnipeg.  

Liba also talked about the various programs offered by Variety to its clients, the most important of which is the program for children with special needs and permanent disabilities. These programs provide an integrated case study for children, identify the programs and equipment that make their lives easier, whether at school or at home, and provide for them to carry out their tasks to the fullest.  

Liba added about the summer camp, which the organization holds annually, and its role in giving children and their families a different and enjoyable atmosphere in the summer, where recreational activities vary in the camp, which is supervised by several specialists in the care and protection of children.  

The organization focuses on parents, not only children, so they are qualified and trained to care for their children in the long term. Thus the organization has ensured that all the child's needs are met, not only by the organization but also by their parents.
