Review for Childvoice International, Durham, NH, USA
I have just returned from a mission trip to ChildVoice's Lukome Center in Northern Uganda. I have been interested in the plight of East Africa and studied about what has happened and what is being done to help these countries. ChildVoice is the only remaining NGO that is specifically there to help women and children who come back from life in the bush. While the war has moved out of N. Uganda, people are still escaping and returning home. The things they have been witness and participate in are beyond words. Without ChildVoice and the program, these kids and their kids would be lost in a country that couldn't take care of them and that wasn't sure they could be trusted. I have witnessed, first hand, the progress these girls make and the joy and excitement they have for life and the forgiveness they experience. All are overwhelming and moving. I have never witnessed such indomitable spirits and feel priviledged to have gotten to spend two weeks helping ChildVoice!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I volunteer with the bead project that helps support this organization and have been able to actually see the beads being made in person. I also saw, first hand, the girls who live at the Center and the joy and love they can no feel, after having ChildVoice care for them in both their emotional and social, and educational development.
