1.Hello Dominic, I know these aren’t the best of conditions, but I wanted to interview you, how are you?
“I’m alright I guess.”
2. What is it like living in these conditions in Patong?
“It’s one of the hardest things in the world for me to do.”
3. Do you think its right to have such young children fighting in this war?
“I don’t because I can relate and it’s hard enough already.”
4. What can you do to get your mind off the terrible happenings in your village?
“I usually play soccer and go to meet my friends and I also play music.”
5. How do you think that this war is going to affect your future?
“I will never be the same inside.”
6. What are the affects of the war on your family, and the families around you?
“We each take it a day at a time. We know that if we don’t stay calm, then it’s just going to get worse.”
7. Is this war, worth your life?
“This war is worth no one’s life. It’s wrong for anyone to endure.”
Village people in Patong, realize how much danger this is putting their children in. This is not an easy life to live; especially when it’s involving their children and them not having a chance to live safely. When the mothers see their children, they realize that they will never have a normal life at all. They won’t get the chance to attempt to live out their dreams. They will always be living in fear. When I heard that my heart stopped, because I saw the pain in her eyes. That just showed me what is going on is much more then a war between the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) and the village goers. It’s a war with them selves. As I was walking around the village in Patong, I realized that no matter what I do, this war is still going to be here tomorrow. It is a war that’s not worth anyone’s life and is wrong by every standard of life.
