Peace Together Gulu University

On October 25, 2009, at Gulu University, a small meeting chaired by Dr. Francis started the Gulu University Branch of Peace Together-Uganda. Objectives being:

1. Organizing public talks or conferences on Peace at the University or in town to enforce peace education to students and communities. This can prepare university community for the 2011 peaceful election and daily peace at the campus.
2. Organizing competition of cultural dances every semester for a Peace Trophy. Nearly 50 different cultures are in Gulu University. This helps to expose the cultural values of all cultures and can raise funds for this P2G students' group.

Sisters of Leonsyo - Anaka Project

Jewelry is hand-crafted by women in Anaka, Uganda; a small town in Northern Uganda that has been ravaged by the civil war. As the women try to rebuild their lives, these necklaces serve as a form of income. They are made from magazines and calendars.

All the profits from the jewelry are sent back to Anaka, Uganda where the funds may specifically be used for paying children's public school fees, rebuilding homes, and investing in micro finance.
