To anyone who reads this,
Remember your child hood? all the laughs, the joy, the cartoons, video games, food ,ect. It was awesome right? I know my child hood rocked! But imagine living in a nation, with nothing but poorly build homes having little to eat and no electricity whatsoever. Being surrounded by jungle and wild animals. Imagine living in constant conflict. Unfortunately this is the reality of many children in the continent of Africa. For there is nothing but war after war there. And the children.....are dragged in it.
Children around the world are forcefully recruited by mainly terrorist organizations, paramilitaries and warlords to serve their cause. Their usually given the tasks of fighters, cooks, spy's, messengers and even sexual slaves. Kids as old as 8 are abducted from their families and are forced to kill or be killed.
I became aware of this after taking english 2 two years ago and doing a report on the issue and i was appalled by this reality. We Must become aware of this issue, learn about it, make others aware of it and find a way to stop it!
