UNICEF: Millions dead, injured as conflicts continue in Democratic Republic of Congo
In this classroom outside Goma, eastern DR Congo every child has their own war story to tell, orphaned, or wounded,living through their nightmares, waiting for their families to be found. Just ten years old Rachelle has had to become a mother to her little brother, making this tiny shelter their home. For more than a year now these two children have been utterly alone. "The children have paid a very high price, they are born, most of them are dying of rare diseases, and illiterate, they haven't gone to school, and the war, let us say it is really a bad thing." Not far away young Habimana is not yet back in school. Since the recent peace conference the UN blue helmets are out in force here. The date on the black board remains untouched since soldiers ransacked this place, cleaning out the clinic, looting the medicines, taking eight of his school mates.
