The Forgotten Children: Hungry. Hopeless. Running for Their Lives"Some day when you stand before God and He asks, 'Did you know about what was going on in Northern Uganda?' What will you say? If He asks, 'Did you know children were being murdered, raped and abducted? What did you do?' No matter what is on your schedule, no matter what your plans ... you must take the time to read this book. The compelling story of the traumatized and forgotten children that live in Northern Uganda will forever impact your life. For 20 years, a bloodthirsty band of terrorists called the Lord's Resistance Army have created a living nightmare for the Ugandan people. It is the children who suffer the most. As many as 30,000 young boys and girls have died in the conflict ... and more than 25,000 children have been abducted by rebels and brutaly used as sex slaves or forced to become 'child soldiers.'"--Back cover. |
