Groups set up model refugee hut to generate discussion of Ugandan issues

Tufts Christian Fellowship and Invisible Children at Tufts on Wednesday and Thursday set up a model of a Ugandan hut on the Academic Quad to simulate the experience of a Ugandan refugee camp. Passersby had the chance to walk through the hut, learn about issues facing Uganda and purchase handmade jewelry to benefit displaced Ugandan women. The hut setup led up to a talk "Uganda: Hearing the Voices of Child Soldiers" last night in the Interfaith Center, during which Conrad Mandsager, founder of Child Voice International, shared his experience working in Uganda and with child soldiers.
