Blog for this week... Take 2

Well I'm pretty sure I messed up my first blog for this week, so I'm going to try it again... Our group has decided that we are going to focus on children's rights in Africa. So far we have found quite a few countries that suffer from child abductions, even forcing these abducted children to fight in small militia's. Many times these children are taken from these militias and are attempted to be returned home. Unfortunately many of these children's homes are located in war-zones, so shortly after being returned they are often abducted again, or killed. Another large problem is that these militias are the cause of hundreds of senseless murders, many of which take place in remote, hard-to-reach areas. In these areas, the only way for help to arrive is via helicopter, and they often arrive too late to make a difference. So far we have barely scratched the surface of this disturbing topic, and we can already see how terrible of a situation it is. Hopefully we will be able to uncover more information soon to help make sense of all of these problems...
