interviews

Yesterday, I went with Niamh to interview some female former child soldiers in one of the camps. It's the first time I've really had to fight back tears. Many have children from being raped or forced to be "wives" of the commanders. One of them told us how they were forced to chop another who tried to escape with a bayonet until they killed her. Many don't have more than a 4th or 5th grade education because they now have to support their children. It's so heartbreaking.
