I am Goretty, 19 yrs old. I am the firstborn and have two brothers in our family. When I was 7 yrs old after my mother was killed by rebel soldiers our father took us to Lake Albert to escape the LRA war. We stayed there for four years then unfortunately, my father became sick. Since I was young I did not know how to care for his illness.

Lawrence is brilliant! “I grew up in a poor family with my grandmother, uncle and other family members. We faced financial difficulties in paying for school, therefore many of our family members did not go to school. My parents died in 2001 during the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) war in Northern Uganda.

My name is Sebastian and I was born during the insurgency in northern Uganda. During this period the activity was at its peak. As a result I lost my father when I was just a three-month old baby. I cannot remember my father up to now, because, all the photos in our house were burned by the rebels.

I am called Julius. I was born to my late parents, who were killed during the time of the Lord Resistance Army’s activities in northern Uganda (LRA War). My parents died when I was a young child, helpless in the village.
