Fernie House Child And Youth Services
Wednesday, June 16, 2010 is the International Day of the African Child. It is celebrated in remembrance of the hundreds of black children who were gunned down in Soweto as they marched in protest against the poor quality of education they were receiving. On this date, in 1976, children also demanded to be instructed in their own language. The original march was more than an half mile long and has been celebrated since June of 1991.
African Nations and Education
Members of a youth debate team in Zambia discussed government spending in terms of education, health, recreational programming, and personal development. They feel that priority needs to be given to these areas as a means of preventing the rise of substance abuse, crime, and prostitution among the nation's youth. In Chibombo, a town in the Central Province of Zambia, children spoke about the lack of clean drinking water, sanitation facilities, health services, and education. They spoke of the continued prevalence of serious diseases and malnutrition, along with the current high rate of illiteracy among their parents. That these issues remain in existence, in 2010, is quite saddening.
