I choose Central African Republic where majority of the displaced are women and children now living in deplorable conditions with no access to safe water, nor shelter.(UNICEF 2013) I was curious about this country because of the violence I have heard over the past few weeks. After hearing about the violence I wanted to know more about the innocent children that are involved.
From reading several articles I notice why many children have not been to school one reason is because of a outbreak of measles affecting these little children. According to the article at least 600 cases have been reported. So that mean that this country to not have the measles vaccination. This is affecting children from the ages 6 to 59 months old. (UNICEF 2013) I also read that these children are in need of protection from violence, water, shelter, malnutrition and Aids.
Like the children I work with these children and seen more violence and being mistreated more than I have in my 43 years of living. Now a days children have so much more to deal with than to just think of school. In this country their health is more important than anything else
My heart breaks for these children but this is the motivation I can use with the children with disabilities. This gives me the inspiration to help children that are need. So in order for the children with disabilities to get the full learning I have to teach the class first that everyone accepted no matter what their difference are. We are a class that is in the helping business and we all have to work together.
