THE LOST CHILDREN OF EAST TIMOR


East Timor gained its independence from Indonesia in 2002 but the bloody conflict leading up to it took its toll. One aspect of the conflict you may not have been aware of is the taking of thousands of East Timorese children away from their families. Do your research and find out what took place and why. Find out what the current situation is and write an essay detailing what you have learnt.
