Children Beyond Our Borders

There are 20 million internally displaced young children around the world. Of those 20 million young children, 2 million are from Colombia. Unfortunately 3 out of 4 of those children are not able to continue their education (PLAN).

Moreover, a lack of education predisposes them to discrimination from the communities that surround settlements of displaced families.

From my time spent working in a health clinic in Ecuador, I've realized that other institutions in developing nations directly and indirectly affect the public health care system.
