Brinks make the move to the north: GULU

This past Saturday was the GULU WALK, all over the western world people set up walks to awaken many to the issues in northern Uganda and the children who had to walk to town each night prior to the war cease fire for safety.

We arrived on Monday to Gulu and then on to Lukodi where we are staying with 30 child mothers, their 60 kids and various staff and american interns who run the center.

We live in a mud hut next to an IDP (internally displaced People Camp).

I was talking with a young boy yesterday who lived in Lukodi and went to school here and had to rush into Gulu right before the town was burnt down by the rebels and 60 people killed.  He now goes to school here once again.  His father is a teacher here.

We do get electricity via generator from 7-9pm

Nancy is caring for the Interns and helping them to do their jobs, like nutritian assessments, income generating activities and the clinic.

I go into town most days and work in the Child Voice office advising the Ugandan Director James.

Pray that we will have wisdom as each day there are significant issues that arise with the girls of the center.  ie. One child mother was expelled last week for biting another girl three times.  They have lived like animals in the bush and even to see how far they have come is truly due to God's grace.
