My Life In Africa Report: By Adong Joyce.

My names are Adong Joyce. I am 32 yeas old and was born in Alero in Nwoya county in Amuru district - Northern Uganda.

I am a responsible married woman with 6 children 3 of whom are girls and the other 3 are boys. all of them are alike. unfortunately my husband died in 1997 from the battle since he was a soldier.

From then I was left alone to catter for my childrens wellfare. I have never attended any substancial education for the rest of my klife time. this is because I lost my parenyts when I was stll very young and no one there fore could pay my school fees.

I am a peasant farmer who survive bacsically on growing crops and part of it I usefor payong school feees for my children.

I have been in the conflict region for over 20years now and I have seen alot of suffering that came on as a result of this conflict. I am only praying that the situatin calms down so that we go back home to our mother home land and we begin ourl life a fresh.

I realy became interested to join LIA when I Learnt about them and their activities and since then my life has drastically improved owing to my participatgiom with them. I am also optimistic their programmes will improve my life for the better.
