Story of a child soldier: Michael’s new life (photo 2/4)

The mother of the family in question immediately declared herself happy to look after Michael. “We’ll treat him as our own child,” she said, even though the family had already taken in two orphans, and in spite of the burden that another mouth to feed, and extra school expenses, would mean for them. Michael, for his part, promised to help the family cope, and to behave well. The ICRC helped him to start up a small business that should enable him and the family to increase their income.
