~ “While there in the bush they would bring us people with injuries. I would inquire where they were getting the injuries because I was not understanding what was going on. After sometime they told us that it was time to move to a new place, still in the mountains.”
~ “I have never heard anything from my children who remained in the bush. No day passes without me asking God to return my children.”
~ “We were told that they were taking us to study religion and to help us as orphans. They however taught us for only one year and took us into the bush. I was about 12 years then.”
