Our planet have many conflicts. Some conflicts can be violent and, unfortunately, they are because of misunderstood differences or disagreement between countries, races, political parties, religious, views, and values. Conflict of violence could escalate and become wars, and people are forced to leave their homes, towns, and even countries to save their lives. These topics are not easy to discuss, but it is important to understand experiences of those who survived, especially children.
