800,000 children in Nigeria 'running for their lives' says Unicef

It has been just over a year since the terrorist group Boko Haram kidnapped nearly 300 schoolgirls in Chibok.  Since then Unicef says that 800,000 children are hiding trying to avoid the Boko Haram.  These numbers are terrifying to me.  Coming from a town of only 300 it is hard for me to imagine how many children are running for their lives.  I think that something needs to be done to help these poor children who haven’t had their chance at making a successful life.
