A group of older boys play soccer with a staff member at the Doctors Without Borders (MSF; Medecins Sans Frontieres) tent compound. This compound is one of the few places children, known as Night Commuters, can find protection every night to avoid being abducted by the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) in Northern Uganda. The LRA is primarily made up of abducted youth. Night Commuters find much more than safety in the compounds, they also find friendships, activity and fellowship. Tens of thousands of children, on average, make this exodus every evening. The war in Northern Uganda has been transpiring for two decades. Lachor, Gulu District, Uganda, Africa.
