Children of Africa

When people think of the children of Africa they begin to feel sorry for them, automatically thinking that there life is terrible because poverty is a very big struggle. Truth of it is though is that children can still be happy, even if they are not wealthy. Children in Africa have chores, just like many of us have had in the United States. Chores could be looking after there siblings, helping in the fields, or even gathering food. With this being said though, many children in Africa do not live a happy, fun life. Depending on the culture, there are strong hierarchy's. In many situations children become the main source of income. In many instances adults will treat them kindly but then again there are many instances where adults will abuse them. A good way to determine what kind of life the child is living is to base it off of their family. You can also get a good idea of life expectancy, education, and things to this sort.
