Child Soldiers Numeral Facts

There are many facts about child soldiers that can have to do with math. First of all, they are under the age of adulthood(15-18)(Child Soldiers). Some of them could even be as young as the age 5 or 6. Also, about 120,000 child soldiers are located in Africa, which is also a third of the worlds child soldiers(Child Soldiers). Many other child soldiers are in the middle east, and the first country to use child soldiers was Germany. Additionally, 12 year olds are used as mine clearers, which are soldiers that go ahead of their group to see if there is any mines in front of where they will be going. Most of the kids that are under 18 do not fight but they spy, cook, are messengers and many other stuff that these kids do. Although, they are doing this stuff, they are still called "child soldiers." Finally, another stunning fact about child soldiers, is that there has been over 2 million deaths for them in Africa. In my opinion, that is one of the stunning facts that I have learned about child soldiers. Finally, those are amazing facts about child soldiers and what have happened to them.

Earthquake in Heidi

Who ever would have thought that a earthquake could have hit one of the poorest countries in the world(Haiti) and kill 45,000 to 50,000 people? People that survived the massive 7 earthquake were walking around Haiti with tissues over their noses because of the bodies rotting. It was a horrible quake that had multiple aftershocks. The quake sent the counties capital down to rubble, and people collapsing to the ground. Multiple other countries (China, US, Spain, and France) sent over people to search and gallons of water in the 81 degree heat. They were digging through the rubble with there bare hands finding people- dead and alive. If people were found alive they would be taken care of in the street, or taken to a hospital. Also, "water is the currency"- it was not money that the residents of Haiti cared about, it was not water. Many of the people had facial injuries and skull fractures. Now, the only question that I have is, where will the residents of Haiti move on from this devastating natural disaster?
