Colombia's Displaced Face Education Challenges FLASH VERSION
About 3 million Colombians are refugees in their own country, forced to leave their homes by FARC rebels or from violence caused by paramilitary groups. Children of displaced families are especially vulnerable and sometimes have difficulty getting to school. Some help comes from the government and aid organizations.
