Gulu, Uganda, 2004. The Gulu Support the Children Organization helps children and young adults reintegrate into Ugandan civil society. Most of these people were abducted or otherwise forced into the Lord's Resistance Army. I saw mostly young mothers with their children and teenage boys with missing limbs or vacant looks in their eyes. The stories I heard were horific: young girls being raped by soldiers; young boys being forced to kill their friends as a show of loyalty. We were not allowed to get names and who knows if the stories were true. They were very messed up kids. GUSCO did their best to help but it is clear they were underfunded.
