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 Lordâs 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. 236 </p> 237 238 </div> 239 240 <div class="pure-u-1-24 pure-u-md-4-24"></div> 241 242 </div> 243 244 <div class="pure-g"> 245 246 <div class="pure-u-1-24 pure-u-md-2-24"></div> 247 248 <div class="pure-u-22-24 pure-u-md-20-24"> 249 250 <div class="image_w_credit"> 251 252 <img src="Hope%20North_files/fitting.jpg" alt=""> 253 254 <p class="photo_credit"> 255 © Tadej Znidarcic 256 </p> 257 258 </div> 259 260 </div> 261 262 <div class="pure-u-1-24 pure-u-md-2-24"></div> 263 264 </div> 265 266 </div> 267 268 <!-- WHY WAS --> 269 <div class="pure-g why_was"> 270 271 <div class="pure-u-1-24 pure-u-md-4-24"></div> 272 273 <div class="pure-u-22-24 pure-u-md-16-24"> 274 <div class="num">02</div> 275 276 <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.
