Gulu is the center of UN and NGO assistance with over 1million IDP’s (Internally Displaced Peoples), including orphans and physically/psychologically damaged of all ages. What the children most need, as my friend Dr fred Oola reminded me yesterday, is funding to attend a school or to obtain a technical training to uplift themselves and their country. Electricity, communications, housing, large scale agriculture – all must be developd to serve the 26 million people. One young man we met at the Gulu Organizatin for Chld Support – 18 years old and recovering from a nasty bullet wound in his foot – was in the Lord’s Resistance Army for 10 years! Girls in particular continue to be vulnerable to neglect and to violence and groups are forming to assist them in recognizing and claiming their human rights and gaining education. The Child is Innocent organization is sponsoring, through individual Albertans, about 20 students, mostly girls, and will build a school as soon as we raise the funds. I am pleased to be part of this dedicated group working in Uganda.
