Day One at Laroo Primary School for War Affected Children: Assembly Day





Laroo Primary school is a k-7 school that is specifically for kids affected by the war. Built by the Kingdom of Belgium, most of the kids range from ages 7-20 and the majority are formerly abducted kids that at one time were child soldiers. The ages vary because when the kids were living in the bush they missed school for the years they were in captivity. As part of Goals for Girls, we developed an assembly that related to goals in life, not just on the field. We called these SMART goals. Each letter stands for something: S is for specific, M is for measurable etc, etc. Anyway, our first day there we held the assembly for the kids in the school. We were under the impression that the assembly would just be for girls, but then all of the sudden the boys were there too. Some things just get lost in communication and we were happy to have them join in. We sang Lean on Me during the assembly and singing the words while thinking about what the kids had lived through was very moving. We gave a t-shirt to every kid in the school and they were thrilled.

I hope that you get this message. We sponsor a child atLaroo Child and Family, and were so excited to see the school, and the children. One of the tall boys looks like our sponsored child, Lawrence, and it's amazing to think you may have met him. Wonderful work you're doing, and know that it warms our heart since we are not able to travel to Uganda.
