There were so many child soldiers in Gumuruk. These boys came to
attention when I walked by and called out for a picture. I discovered
later that the shelter they were under is a school built by the
Presbyterian church to provide them with an education until they can
be returned home. However, I was also told that the boys are now paid a salary, so many don't want to be demobalized.
