Third Hope

1 TO RELIEVE POVERTY AND OPPRESSION OF CHILDREN IN NORTHERN UGANDA WHO HAVE BEEN TAKEN AS CHILD-SOLDIERS BY PROVIDING TWO REHABILITATION CENTRES NEAR GILLU (FOR WHEN THEY ARE RELEASED), EMPLOYING LOCAL TEACHERS AND EXPERTS TO TRAIN THESE YOUNG PEOPLE IN VOCATIONAL SKILLS.2 TO ADVANCE EDUCATION IN NORTHERN UGANDA BY TRAINING THE EX-CHILD SOLDIERS IN VOCATIONAL SKILLS, ALONGSIDE LITERACY AND LIFE-COACHING AND BY STARTING A PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL. TO INSTALL A TRAUMA-COUNSELLING TEAM TO ENABLE STUDENTS TO DEAL WITH DEBILITATING TRAUMAS AS THEY ARISE.3 TO BE BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY BY USING INDIGENOUS EXPRESSIONS OF ART, THEATRE, DANCE AND MUSIC WITHIN THE CENTRES AS A CELEBRATION AND AFFIRMATION OF THE LOCAL CULTURE, TO PROMOTE A PRIDE IN THEIR RICH CULTURAL ROOTS. WE INTEND TO USE ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF ENERGY AS A WAY OF MODERN MORE COST-EFFECTIVE WAYS OF GENERATING POWER.
