STOP THE USE OF CHILD SOLDIERS!!
-There are an estimated 250 000 to 300 000 child soldiers in the world today.
Some of the Countries that use child soldiers are: Burundi, Chad, Columbia, Ivory Coast, Congo, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Uganda, Central African Republic, and Somalia.
-Children are used as soldiers because they are easily manipulated and brainwashed with pressure, drugs, threats, etc. -Children in the War Zone are almost always scarred for life if they ever do recover physically, or even survive.
-Many children are forced to join the militia or die. -Girls usually end up as soldiers wives or sex slaves. -One third of these children will never be reintegrated back into their communities.

You can help child soldiers by: -Purchasing Canadian diamonds, not Blood Diamonds from Africa. -Buy products from companies that help and free child soldiers. -Visit websites that help child soldiers. -Get involved and donate to programs dedicated to the cause.
^ The Coalation To Stop The Use Of Child Soldiers helps children around the world that have been forced into fighting and war.
