Paratext Text	K.FOR: Kosovo peacekeeping forces Lipjan: Town in Irish area of operations
Notes	The speaker of the poem describes Irish soldiers escorting local children in Kosovo to school, in the midst of war, unexploded bombs, grenades, and mines. A vivid picture is drawn of the scene, as children are led by the peacekeeping soldiers to school in the middle of a warzone. This also underlines the importance of the children's education, as they go to school despite the conflict surrounding them.
