Parent Guide > Nearly 1 Million South Sudanese Refugees In Uganda

This week in class, we’re reading "Nearly 1 Million South Sudanese Refugees In Uganda" by NPR.

In the text "Nearly 1 Million South Sudanese Refugees In Uganda," Scott Simon interviews Noah Gottschalk about the experiences of South Sudanese refugees at settlements in Uganda. 

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Social Change & Revolution and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How do people create change?" and "How are we changed by war?"
