Child soldiers

Here's a story about how one member of the Changemakers community is saving child soldiers in the Kashmir Valley:

Susheela Bhan’s commitment to cultural identity has saved hundreds of lives. Fueled by a passion to restore humanity, faith, and integrity in her war-torn homeland of Kashmir, Bhan embarked on a mission to transform her ravaged community—one school at a time.

This former college professor established the Institute of Peace Research and Action (IPRA) to develop a comprehensive curriculum inculcating democracy, secularism, social justice, and human rights into the hearts and minds of Kashmiri youth. The program helps keep kids off the battlefield too.
