Description: In the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, tribal fighting effects entire communities. Homes, schools, health centres, livelihoods and lives can be destroyed. The impact that this can have on children is far-reaching and life-altering. Too often children pay the price for conflicts in their village, unable to access their schools, blocked my fighting, unable to learn in classrooms that have been burnt down by enemy tribe. Then there is the worst circumstance where children are the ones being killed.
