The Following letters are from teenagers in Northern Uganda. Felix was kidnapped at 12 years old and taken into the bush where he was trained to be a child soldier. He was the linguist for his unit because he spoke English well. He was soon training other children to kill and was forced to kill those who refused to take order. He told me, "Their Spirits Haunted Me After I Killed Them!" He knew if he did not kill them he would be killed.
