Belgium has offered to construct a boarding primary school in northern Uganda for former child abductees of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) who are currently receiving counselling to overcome the trauma suffered in captivity. Announcing the initiative, the Belgian Ambassador to Uganda, Koenraad Adam, stated that his government had earmarked US $ 2.4 million for the project which would be sited in Gulu, 360 km north of Kampala.
