Help the African Child
Soldiers!
Hello, this is IGL and this project is
about African child soldiers. Africa has used
children as a militia for years. African boys and girls of teenagers to the age
of nine have been kidnapped, sold by their families, or forced to join the
military. Boys are separated from friends and families and are taught to fight.
Girls are to please adult men in the military.
One boy said that when he was
kidnapped, the militia tied his two younger brothers up and beat them till they
died. The youngest was nine years old. Boys are brainwashed and drugged to
fight. They always killed someone and it wouldn’t bother them at all.
War Child is an organization that prevents children from being manipulated by warfare. War Child believes that children should be in school instead of fighting in the army.

The children have lost so much. If
they showed any weakness, they would be shot and killed. These poor children
will never have a happy childhood, family, or friends. You could:
- Spread the word.
- Protest against it.
- Speak to retired children to
rehabilitate them.
- Donate to War Child. Here's their website ==>> http://www.warchild.org.uk
As you can see,
these children need a life too. Help the African child soldiers.
