Age sets are unique to the Murle tribe and are a way of categorising youth along generational lines. Traditionally ages sets had assigned roles in the community; looking after cattle for example was given to the youngest age set while the responsibility of keeping the community safe was given to the oldest of the groups. But the age sets are not what they used to be. When there has been a handover of power from one age set to another it has often led to violence. Traditional ways of settling “scores” have changed with the introduction of the AK47 tearing tribes apart from within. “Age-set fighting affects communities in different ways,” he says. “It leads to cattle raids and innocent people dying in the crossfire. Before people used sticks, but now they use guns.” (For Finn Church Aid) https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/9f8f7ded8dc1061257cbbc8e07e2703e_hd.jpg Chawich, a 16 year old refugee from South Sudan was resettled in northern Uganda after fleeing from the Nuer with his family.

Next month he will be starting school in a disability friendly school in Adjumani, the initiative of the Education Office in Adjumani and Finn Church Aid who I was contracted to document the project. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/b04f77684df7300dfcc1c620c72a2d77_hd.jpg Into the darkness Eunice, from Migori County in Kenya, is 29 and has been blind for 8 years.

I'm a Rohingya who is originally from Myanmar. I came here in Bangladesh after 25 August 2017, when violence forced us to flee our home. I was sad that we had to leave our home, but what could we do? We could not live. I was 4 months pregnant at that time and walked for 10 days to arrive in Bangladesh. Fortunately, when I got to Kutupalong refugee camp I found WFP’s nutrition support for pregnant mothers – the nutritious cereal helped me to recover from the strenuous journey and bring me back to life. I thank WFP for these additional nutritional supplements which gave me the strength to give birth to a healthy baby boy. My 9-year-old daughter Jasmin also gets micronutrient biscuits at her school that helps her keep her energy levels up throughout the day. I had brought nothing with me from Myanmar – just a few clothes, so I really thank WFP for being there at this time. As a mother caught between two lands, I am relieved to see my babies grow up healthy and strong.” https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/17355/035a9d5450fa67fc1ffba9ee358c5146_hd.jpg Daniel, a WFP Storyteller Meet Daniel Hassan, the World Food Programme’s latest Storyteller from Bidi Bidi refugee settlement in northern Uganda. Over 2 weeks Daniel learnt all about how to tell his story through social media and photography. And using a device similar to what you are holding right now! Like many of the Storytellers, Daniel found that Facebook was not just about posting selfies. “When I joined the project I didn’t know how to use Facebook and since then I’ve found my friends in South Sudan,” he said. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/727a11ca916fe65b5e4b4c079cba7543_hd.jpg Alice and George Alice and George were both born with congenital cataracts. Their failing vision meant that they could not attend school and required full time care. Children of this age require a general anesthetic when undergoing sight saving surgery and is often a painful and confusing experience when they wake. The good news is the surgery was successful and they are both free to play and learn like the other children in their village.. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/8fd5d0c55a93bcad8946ac151d016962_hd.jpg Chawich, a 16 year old refugee from South Sudan was resettled in northern Uganda after fleeing from the Nuer with his family.

Can you imagine fleeing war only to find yourself in a foreign country with limited support and caring for a disabled child? (R) Jacob, 16, a refugee from South Sudan resettled in the north of Uganda in 2015. He stopped going to school six months ago as it became too difficult to navigate the path on crutches. Jacob's education is set to resume with the construction of a new inclusive school, with disability friendly classrooms and toilets and boarding facilities built with the help of Finn Church Aid.

Her family could not afford the cost of treatment or the long rugged journey to get to the nearest hospital. Jialuo could no longer cook, feed her buffalo and pigs or walk around the village, all of the things she used to love to do. She said "I have to depend on my son to go to toilet. That's the worst inconvenience." Jialuo was one of 7 villagers at the Great Stonebridge town who urgently needed cataract surgery, 13 others were diagnosed with cataract after being screened by The Mianing county hospital screening team. This backlog of untreated cataract is due to the lack of local cataract surgeons and the high altitude of the area. The blindness rate in this region is more than twice of the rest of China. When the patch was taken off she was shocked to see the faces of her family that she hadn't seen for years, she couldn't stop laughing and smiling. She said "I could have a buffalo and a pig killed to celebrate this moment if I was at home, and to show my grateful thanks to the doctors and people who save me." https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/17355/ec2db7428dca2a13571a84c7538f5b40_hd.jpg Lango James Golla, from Pibor In South Sudan, belongs to the Lango age-set, which is characterised by the yellow, and black wrist band.

Karina was one of 34 young refugees from South Sudan who took part in a digital storytelling workshop in Bidi Bidi refugee settlement in northern Uganda, facilitated by the World Food Programme. “I want to be a journalist or a leader in South Sudan” she says. Over 10 days Karina learnt how how to take photos, shoot video, how to interview, and how to write a story. And all with a smart phone. “I learnt how to post on Facebook and Instagram. I was not knowing these things”. With her new skills in social media, photography and video, she’s now well on her way. https://www.hughrutherford.com.au/site/page 2024-04-04 weekly 0.5 https://www.hughrutherford.com.au/projects
