At least 20 children have died in the past month as a result of ongoing conflict within the Somali capital, while many others are among the hundreds of thousands to have fled the city in recent months. The majority of the displaced are children, women and the elderly. |

 Introduction
Comte Auguste, a sociologist, wrote of one man who put on a shirt in a backward manner in such a way that the buttons could not be done by him if not by another. This demonstration of Comte hints to our present presentation where appreciating the human social nature we necessarily affirm the significance of communication. Communication, sharing and dialogue are fundamental to the formation and maturity of any religious person. This topic is of our concern because many are the times the missionaries fall in deep crisis and frustrations and the blame is laid on them unconsciously while in fact the whole discussion began during the initial or basic formation as it’s an element of human nature: “the need to be with”. |
