APCEIU has recently published the 2007 summer issue (No. 19) of EIU English magazine, SangSaeng, on the theme of “Children in Conflict Situations”. 

This issue of SangSaeng covers two stories from <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Indonesia and Nepal on children in conflict situations. These stories remind us that millions of children today often live in tragic circumstances such as war, conflict, poverty and natural disasters, which that the children have not dreamed of nor asked for.

The magazine also features a valuable guidance to education of war and peace in ‘Teaching Children How to Relate to Others at an Early Age’ by Colin N. Power, a former Assistant Director-General for Education, UNESCO; a special report on street children of Ulaanbaatar in ‘Living Dangerously Underground’; and an interview with Laxmisha Rai, the winner of Youth MDGs Essay Contest hosted by APCEIU.
