What Happen to Child Soldiers in Sierra Leone?

Ishmael Beah’s Quote:

“This is your time to revenge the deaths of your families and to make sure more children do not lose their families.”

(Pages 106)1. Adult soldiers want to take all children

become soldiers because they needed more help.

2. Adult soldiers like to spoil on children to focus on killing not education.

How can we help former child soldiers recover?

Africa Recovery, but now called “Africa Renewal” is NGO endorsed to former child

soldiers.

Four reasons that Africa Renewal endorsed them?

1. Anti-Fighters are developing programs to release

children when war is still going on.

2. They are rescuing children in uniform.

3. They help them reintegrate into their

communities and be reunified with their families.

4. Best way to support a child is to provide him with

education and an opportunity for an income.
