COVER SUMMARY
The Road to Kitgum, a Memoir of Cambodia, Uganda, and the Search for a Lost Child, recounts the true story of Teach Them To Fish Foundation’s work building primary schools in rural Cambodia and Uganda, with a focus on educating girls at risk of exploitation.
Founded by Chase Sizemore in 2006, the foundation began with a school for 380 children in Battambang Province, Cambodia. It later expanded into rural Uganda, where children faced poverty, disease, violence, and the aftermath of civil war.
At Kanyanga Primary School, a student’s note leads Chase into the search for Akiki, a boy abducted years earlier by the Lord’s Resistance Army and believed to be injured in an internally displaced persons camp near Kitgum. The search takes Chase through displacement camps and armed territory in a dangerous rescue effort to find a child who had been taken by war and nearly lost to memory.
The Road to Kitgum is a story of compassion, courage, and the power of education to bring hope to children the world has too often forgotten.
Every school we build changes the lives of thousands of children and their village forever. With your support, we can build the next one.
