North- Central Africa...

So far our collaborative essay dealing with child soldiers is doing very well. As of right now we are working on a few minor revisions and just making sure that everything we have works well together. Throughout our research we have come across some very startling realizations, such as the fact that nearly 90% of the soldiers in the Lord's Resistance Army are children. Also small militias aren't the only groups that use children in their armies. The government also is known to use children in their fights. In fact the Ugandan People's Defense Force has an average age of 15 for their soldiers. Also we have been unable to find nearly any information dealing with help for this problem. There are some smaller organizations, but it appears as if there is no help being provided from other countries. Well as far as we have been able to see there doesn't appear to be any at least.
