Today in Uganda
"For more than 19 years, the rebel group 'the Lord's Resistance Army' (LRA) has been battling the Government of Uganda (GOU) for political power.... [The LRA] creates [its] army primarily through the violent abduction and forced enlistment of children. Children are used as soldiers, laborers and, in the case of girls, sexual slaves. More than 20,000 children have been kidnapped by the LRA." Link for more on World Vision's response to the issue.Take Action! Send a message to Congress and the President, urging them to help protect the people of Uganda and bring an end to the conflict.
