Instructions<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nOften when we listen to the new, we hear stories of countries that are torn by war; we hear stories of people\u00a0fleeing their country due to poverty, gang violence and other hardships. Often the casualties of these\u00a0occurrences are children who are torn or separated from their parents because of violence, poverty or other\u00a0hardships. This interdisciplinary assignment has three steps. The first part of the project you will identify\u00a0a crisis in any part of the world and examine its impact on children.
