This Saturday my Dad, Andrea and I took to the street for an 11km walk in support of the children of Northern Uganda. These children are forced to walk every night to the closest town for protection from being kidnapped by the LRA (Lords Resistance Army) and turned into child soldiers or sex slaves. It is estimated over 66,000 children have been stolen from their homes over the course of this 20 year war in the region.
Team Acholi (the Acholi people are the tribe most affected by this despicable war) consists of Andrea, Maria and I. Unfortunately, Maria couldn't do the walk because of work, but my dad took her place. Together we raised $1285.50!! Thanks ALOT to everyone who donated to this awesome cause.
