Summary

Description

Some 60,000 children were abducted by the Lords Resistance Army during their 20 year campaign of terror in the Northern Region of Uganda.

  • David Ojok was abducted at the age of 13, and forced to become a child soldier. Now he is working as a bricklayer, thanks to training he received at the Northern Uganda Youth Development Centre, which is supported by UK aid.
  • "Without this training," says David, "I possibly would be dead. I would have been pushed into stealing for food. The centre has changed my life."
