The brutal war waged by the Lord's Resistance Army has displaced millions of people and orphaned countless children in Uganda. In the northern town of Gulu an Italian priest, Brother Elio Croce, started to care for children whose families had died or disappeared during the conflict. In a series of buildings adjacent to the local school, St. Jude Children's Home cares for almost 200 children and is scarcely funded by private donations and volunteers. The children work long hours, waking before dawn to tend the small field, cook and clean.
