This student lost both of his parents during rebel massacres. He is redoing 7th grade. He was so severely traumatized that his behavior at school has been clearly affected: aggressive, disobedient…A family here in Beni has taken him in. He is also struggling academically. We have to exercise a lot of patience with him. He himself writes, “When I grow up, I want to be a soldier.”
