The Effects of War on Children
Children who have been through a war are affected for life.
"The physical, sexual and emotional violence to which they (children) are exposed shatters their world.
War undermines the very foundations of children's lives, destroying their homes, splintering their communities and breaking down their trust in adults."
Graca Machel in her 1996 report 'The Impact of Armed Conflict on Children'

In the spirit of Lumiere, is there anything you can do to help?
