War-affected youth like Raymond Lubangakene, pictured here in 2007 right after Primary 7 in his parent's house in Unyama IDP camp, are among the many youth in Uganda who bounce back and prosper through education and mentorship. Highly vulnerable, Raymond rose to the rank of Number 1 at St. Joseph's Layibi College in Gulu where we sponsored him for his O-level education.
