Canlit Johnson, center, from Pader District, Northern Uganda had a happy, traditional childhood until he was abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army when he was 12 and forced into child soldiering. His almost three year ordeal as a child soldier is a story of what war does to children. A student in our Northern Uganda Education Program since 2005, Canlit is pictured here at Racoko Vocational Secondary, surrounded by student colleagues also sponsored by UMECS, seeing his picture in a newsletter.
