Patricia, the cook at the ChildVoice Centre in Lukodi, has endured unspeakable suffering and rejection in her young life. At age 11, she was captured and taken to the bush, forced to live with the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). After two years of enduring the horrifying experiences with the LRA, Patricia managed to escape and tried to find her way home.

Not Again...
As America celebrates the inauguration of a new administration this week, there is a sense of renewed hope all across America, and even across the globe. In Africa, there is an amazing solidarity with Obama because of his Kenyan roots and the hope that he will leverage his position as the most powerful man in the world to bring a new focus on the issues that continue to besiege the continent.
As the gala events continue through the week in the US, it is sobering to know 7000 miles away during the very same week, there is despair spreading across thae northern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) have launched a new wave of violence in response to the multinational attack on their bases in northeast DRC just before Christmas.

Albright. Her name says it all. The daughter of a former child soldier, she runs happily around the ChildVoice Lukodi Centre with a zip and zest for life. Thankfully, she has been spared the horrendous first- hand experiences of the Lord's Resistance Army. Still she is picking up the pieces. She lives under the looming issues of her community. Poverty. Violence. Broken families. Death. Yet she has hope. It is in her eyes.

to consider those who are uncertain and anxious about what this year will bring? Please take a moment to contemplate giving this year. Giving to a family that may not have the privilege of living this year without thoughts of sickness and the fear of hunger- you can give the gift of hope this year.
Your gift of $500, $200, $100, $50 or even $20 will assist ChildVoice in providing housing, nutrition, education, and spiritual and emotional growth to children and their families who desperately yearn for ways to cope with the horrifying events that have shaped their lives. With your assistance, ChildVoice can help them. Give these children a voiceâ??a voice that they can pass on to the next generations.
Remember, a monthly gift would help us even more! Click on the Amplified! link for more information!
Thank You
