currently there are 1.8 million people
in northern Uganda crammed into these
displaced persons camp with the entire
countryside and Uganda lush fertile
region these Ugandan actually people
cannot actually farm on their land
because of Lord’s Resistance Army at the
alero IDP camp there are currently
18,000 people that are living in squalid
conditions and shelter walk with Togo we
hope to build a nursery school for 300
and to actually sustain a school for a
period of time and with that we need
school books I mean basic necessities
such as even haircut these children do
not even go to school without
so simple as a haircut so well actually
after building a school we hope to begin
micro financing projects in the case of
northern Uganda it is not an
international crisis Bernadette and we
we have decided as a young group of
women to go in there and kind of take
matters into our own hands and take the
initiative and give these well deserving
people an opportunity
