Introduction to My Blog!

     Have you ever been in a physical state of war? Do you know what it feels like to carry a gun that ways almost as much as you do? These are few of the questions that are answered by the daily lives of Child Soldiers in Africa. Through my blog, I plan to educate the reader on many aspects and different viewpoints on the effect of child soldiers. A few questions that I plan on also answering are: What events in Africa have lead to Child Soldiers? Since when have children been used as soldiers in the African continent? What is the process that is taken by the children to be used as soldiers? Is there some children who decide for themselves to fight in the wars? Has a civil war been the cause for the use of Child Soldiers in Africa? Is Africa the only continent with Child Soldiers?
     My goal for this blog is to learn more about Child Soldiers and to educate the readers at the same time. I hope to learn about real accounts and about the daily life of a Child Soldier and their families. I plan on answering all of the questions above and keep the blog interesting as well.
