DESCRIPTION:Children & Youth\nIn the Heart of Conflict\n\nWednesday, June 10:  6:30pm 
 to 8:30pm; Jewish Community Center\n3200 California St; San Francisco, CA 
 94118\n \nFelix Unogwu\nSFCG Children and Youth Specialist\n\nOne of the 
 most emotionally moving parts of Search for Common Ground's work is with 
 children and youth.  On one hand, young people are often the indirect and 
 direct victims of violent conflict - left as orphans, denied education and 
 of food and shelter.  Even more disturbing, children and youth are often 
 used as weapons of war as child soldiers and sex slaves.  There are an 
 estimated 300,000 child soldiers today. \n\nThis presentation will tell 
 about another side of the story: how children and youth are playing 
 powerful and inspiring roles in transforming deadly conflict.  This is 
 where Search for Common Ground is making a difference.  SFCG works with 
 young people in 16 countries.  Recognized as an international leader, SFCG 
 helps young people step forward to transform their communities and 
 countries.\n\nFelix Unogwu, our guest speaker, lived through the hardships 
 of violent conflict only to rise as a youth leader and bridgebuilder.  Born 
 in Nigeria, Felix is SFCG’s Child and Youth Specialist.  His story is one 
 of hope and transformation, enabling him to work side-by-side with youth 
 from a place of deep understanding.  Felix holds a Master’s degree in 
 political science from Vaxjo University in Sweden. He is also a proud 
 father and encourages his own son to have a voice at home.\n\nTo RSVP:
