227
228        <p>
229          It’s a school, a home, and a promise. Artist and former child 
230soldier Okello Sam founded Hope North in 1998 to provide education and a
231 chance at salvation for those left in the wake of the Lord’s Resistance
232 Army (LRA). Hope North is an accredited secondary school, located on a 
23340-acre campus with an international arts center, vocational training, 
234and a working farm, staffed by 26 dedicated Ugandan educators. To date, 
235the school has helped thousands of vulnerable youth.

276      <h3>Why was Hope North created?</h3>
277
278      <p>
279        Simply put, because every child should be given the opportunity 
280to be a child. Tens of thousands of young Ugandans have been abducted 
281and forced to become child soldiers for the LRA, while the war has made 
282refugees and orphans of over a million others. Hope North provides these
283 children with a safe haven along with the skills and experience to find
284 and spread peace in the wake of tragedy while also preserving their 
285Acholi culture. Hundreds of former Hope North students are working 
286towards their degrees and planning their careers.

355          Hope North sits in the town of Masindi, an hour southwest of 
356Gulu. The location of Hope North was carefully chosen to provide 
357protection from unpredictable violence, while also preserving a 
358connection to Acholi culture, of which all Hope North residents are 
359members. By locating Hope North within an Acholi-speaking region, it 
360minimizes the sense of isolation and dislocation that comes with being a
361 refugee.

382
383      <p>
384        As in most cases like these, Hope North relies on a community of
385 people who see the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. They’re 
386determined to establish peace, and to pass their inspiration to young 
387minds who will grow up to do the same. Hope North is fortunate enough to
388 have a wonderful staff in Uganda, as well as several friends who are 
389spreading awareness throughout the world.
