What are the eligibility criteria?
With thousands upon thousands of child families, that's going to be a very tough question, David. There are indeed some among the Charity for Peace night commuters we work with. There are also many night commuter mothers in the group we work with who help to look after many children who fall into this category. At the Gulu conference, some women reported emotionally of trying to offer their meager support to as many as 30 children who are not their own, who have nobody else to turn to and nowhere to go. I'd really love to get more of their input on what the eligibility criteria might be.
I also think that if the WE Center Gulu community has a hand in identifying the children to benefit (ie, they know them), that will lay a very nice foundation for the two WE Centers to work together.
