Meet the students at Restore Leadership Academy!
In 2007, with 30 students, Restore International began the Restore Academy. The Restore Leadership Academy now has 19 teachers and over 240 students in the equivalent of middle and high school. The Academy is thriving and providing a wonderful education and teaching leadership and character development for students. The students are amazing – they have been through so much, living in a country damaged by war. The backgrounds of the students vary, but generally almost all of them grew up in northern Uganda during the war. So an overwhelming percentage have had one or both of their parents die due to the war or disease. And all of them have seen the horrors of the war. A few of the boys were formerly abducted and forced to fight with the rebels, and several of the girls already have children. They come from all different backgrounds and circumstances, yet you’ll never meet a happier, energetic, and ambitious bunch.
