If we are to teach real peace
in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war,
we shall have to begin with the children. - Mahatma Gandhi
Children throughout the world are affected
by war. During previous world wars 90% of the victims were the
soldiers in the war. In today's wars 90% of the victims are
women and children. Modern wars rely more on air raids and
bombing which is indiscriminate of it's victims. How do children
feel who have experienced war? How do children feel who may be
called to fight a war in a region of the world that they know
nothing of? How do we get the children in one nation talking to
children in other nations?
Instilling art and literature will bring
about knowledge the children of this world. To teach children at
a young age, that by respecting the rights and dignity of each
human being, making sure that progress and development are good
for everyone and for the environment, and by developing
attitudes and skills for living together in harmony, putting an
end to exclusion and oppression.
