Uganda – The Domino Effect

International projects

Dominika will participate in the construction of a playground for former child soldiers. She is going to learn the shocking stories of their lives. A playground might not seem to be an urgent need for a community vulnerable to the negative effects of a long-term conflict. But Dominika Kulczyk, Hope Okeny, the founder of CDOU, and Pamela Angeyo, a teacher working in the local children’s day-care center, will explain the profound therapeutic influence which it can have on the children under the organization’s care in Uganda. We kindly invite you to watch the episode available in Polish at:
