Thousands of children sleep packed together like goods on a shelf. The smell of urine, vomit, and sweat is overpowering, but they have no where elso to go. For outside the security of these walls, in the place that they once called home, death awaits them. Every night in Northern Uganda children are abducted and forced into the ranks of the LRA rebel army. The cost for resisting: rape, body mutation, burning, and death. Cost for joining: being forced to rape, mutate, burn, and kill others. Driven by fear these children flock by the thousands to the safety of the city at night and sleep on the floors of hospitals, bus stations, and open verandas. Their childhood has been stolen. Help us give it back. This summer I will be going to Uganda along with a good friend of mine, Joy, to help give these children back their childhood. We will be working to reunite them with their families, helping them get into schools, listening to their stories, and then sharing them with the rest of the world to bring awareness to this heart breaking story that the world has turned a blind eye to. PLEASE HELP US HELP THESE CHILDREN!!!!! See our blogs to see what we will be doing and HOW YOU CAN HELP!
Anyone intersted in missions, or with a heart to help people!
