Meet Anselm, a 10 year old boy from Gulu, Northern Uganda. He comes from a humble peasant family headed by his single mum who has struggled to provide basic needs (food, shelter, water, clothing and beddings and meet school expenditures). He has been out of school for quite sometimes now. Anselm’s ambition in life is to become a Member of Parliament (MP) and help advocate for community concerns, including children’s rights. Through your collaborative efforts, he can once again go to school and have an opportunity to form friendships, work with adults who care about him and wish to prepare him for the bright future that lies ahead.
