by Nurit Wurgaft, Haaretz, Israel - "I went to school for five years and figured my learning days were over," said E. a boy from Darfur who came to Israel seven months ago. "My parents worked in the fields and so did I. When I left, they thought I would work and send money home. I told them I was going to study and had no money. Now I don't phone my mother because every time I call, she asks for money. I know their situation is difficult, but I can't give up this opportunity to learn. I told her this, but she doesn't understand." This small group reflects a new phenomenon. Dozens of minors from Eritrea, Darfur and southern Sudan have come to Israel in the past year alone.
