COVER SUMMARY
The Road to Kitgum is a memoir of Cambodia, Uganda, and the Search for a Lost Child. It recounts the 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, before expanding 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 a search for Akiki, a boy abducted years earlier by the Lord’s Resistance Army and believed to be injured in an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp near Kitgum. The search takes Chase through displacement camps and armed territory in a dangerous rescue effort involving a child believed to have been abducted by the Lord’s Resistance Army.
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.
