Ojok Tony is 16 years old. Originally from the rural village of Koro in Northern Uganda, Tony was forced to flee northwards to the city of Gulu with his family after the village was attacked by Lord’s Resistance Army rebel forces. When he arrived in Gulu, tensions with his stepmother heightened and Ojok wound up living on the streets of Gulu. He now lives in Cornerstone, a boy’s group home run by David Laker, where he lives with other boys his age in a communal setting and is able to attend school. Ojok is extremely witty, a leader among the boys and excels on the football pitch. This is the story of his sister, Peloya Jacqueline, who was captured by the rebels.
