Hi,

On a cargoship last summer from Kampala (Uganda) to Mwanza (Tanzania) I met a boy (21 or 22) who had been kidnapped when he was 7 years old by the Lord's Resistance Army. Now, he had escaped and came on foot through Uganda to Kampala. In Mwanza he was able to stay at a Franscican Church. However, a short time ago his visa hasn't been given and he has to go back to Uganda. He is now staying in Uganda (probably) in a refugee camp. He writes to me that his living standards are hard, and he feels he won't be able to make something of his life. he tells me of food-shortages and hard work.
I live in Holland, and I would really like to make a difference. Is there some way that I can? Do you still take refugees for your program? In what way can I help him?

Kind regards, Manon
