Bullet holes from the past mark the outer walls of the Labworomor Primary School and neighboring church in Koro. The name of this school translates into "lion's roar" in English. Standing outside the school and looking at the beautiful surroundings, it is beyond imagination the terror that existed in the hearts of children many years ago as rebels attacked, seeking to claim them for their child army. As soldiers defended the children, there was blood shed on this very ground.
450 children are inside both the school and church buildings as learning begins on this first day of school after four weeks of holiday. The children have greeted us in song - as is the custom. We gave each child a small top and played with them for a few moments before they returned to their studies.
Please pray for the peace that began two years ago would be a lasting peace. Scott
