African Conflict

As we have been studying Africa over the last couple of months we have been gradually approaching the age of conflict and civil unrest. I will be briefly addressing with your children the dire situations found in such areas as Rwanda, Congo, Darfur, and Somolia. I will be suggesting to them that they ask you for further information or that you assist them in researching it further if they would like to learn more about the injustices that are occuring in this region. I feel that it is necessary to have a parent explain some of these difficult concepts as there may only be a limited amount of material that you wish to reveal to them a this time. Furthermore, I encourage you to become enlightened on the topic so that your children will feel more comfortable talking to you.
