Former Child Soldier: Sarah spent 6 years in abduction

Student Sarah spent six years in abduction by the Lord's Resistance Army in Northern Uganda. "In the bush I was trained as a soldier and children of my age died. Others were killed by the rebels because they complained of being tired and others who were thirsty were forced to drink their own urine. Now I have to worry no more because of the community I live in which is very considerate people, kind and loving. The school offers me a chance of peace and change."

Computer Lesson

AIDS Orphan: Okello

Student Okello is an orphan. "I was left with taking care of the family at a young age and without resources. I joined St. Kizito Secondary School and it kept me strong knowing that I had a better place to stay. It shaped me spiritually, mentally and helped to draw my focus to my future."

Poverty: Edward
